Show HN: I analyze your GitHub code and generate a developer personality card
- marcelglaeser 7mo agoHi HN, I built this to answer a simple question: can you fingerprint a developer's style from their actual source code? HowYouCode scans your public GitHub repos and analyzes real code patterns — naming conventions, function sizes, comment density, nesting depth, error handling, and branch complexity. No GitHub stats or metadata, just your actual code. The result is a personality card with an archetype (like "The Clean Architect" or "The Pragmatic Hacker"), scores, and comparisons against the average. No login required. Just enter any GitHub username and wait ~30 seconds. Fun profiles to try: - torvalds (Linux kernel style) - antirez (Redis creator) - sindresorhus (npm legend) - ThePrimeagen Tech: Vanilla JS frontend, Express backend, 5 GitHub PATs for rate limiting, server-side response cache. Runs on a single €6/mo VPS. The scoring is opinionated — I'd love feedback on what metrics actually matter for "code quality" vs just "code style". Source analysis, not star counting. That's the idea.
