I've been building a hiring tool for the past few weeks and had
to crawl thousands of GitHub profiles to build the dataset.
What I found was honestly kind of sad.
About 80% of profiles look like this:
- Last commit: 2 years ago
- Repos: "todo-app", "weather-app", "netflix-clone"
- Bio: "passionate developer | open to opportunities"
- Live projects: 0
These are people actively looking for jobs. But there's
literally no proof they can build anything real.
The other 20% were completely different. They had:
- Actual deployed URLs in their READMEs
- GitHub Pages sites that worked
- Vercel/Netlify deployments linked in repo settings
- CI/CD pipelines pushing to real infrastructure
The difference between these two groups had nothing to do
with stars or followers. Some of the best builders I found
had under 50 followers.
So I built a tool that specifically surfaces that second group.
It scans repos for 4 signals of actual deployment and indexes
only developers with live, working projects.
Currently have 2000+ developers indexed across React, Python,
Golang, Rust, Vue, Next.js etc.
If you're a developer with live projects — you're probably
already in it.
If you're hiring — it's free right now during beta:
Curious if others have noticed this same pattern when
looking at GitHub profiles?
