Hey y'all,

Last week I posted about GitBiome, allowing you to view any github repo as a unique, 3D world. I appreciate all of the feedback so far!! In the meantime I was working on a way to explore the indexed repos as a galactic system, which was listed as a "beta" feature last week

Took me a bit, but I'm happy with where it is now :)

First, https://gitbiome.com/galaxy is a 3D map of the ~170 most popular repos on GitHub, grouped into 8 star systems. Each planet is a real repo that you can click into to view its world

A friend of mine mentioned that this was cool, but he wanted his own system 😆

So the part I'm most excited about: every public GitHub user can now have a personal galaxy. Each planet is one of your repos, which can be used to navigate to their worlds. Sign in with GitHub, claim the galaxy, and the URL is ready in a few seconds. Stick it on your resume, your bio, wherever :) (mine for example: https://gitbiome.com/dylandubois)

A few small things on top:

- QR code generator for sharing your galaxies

- Resync button to pull your repos from GitHub anytime

- OG cards so the link looks clean on Discord, Twitter, etc

At the moment you can only pull in your public repos, but I'm planning to change this as most of mine are private :)

Would love any feedback or feature requests <3

Hey y'all,

Last week I had an itch to do some vibe coding, and originally started by turning some of my local projects into viewable forests. This was fun at first, but I wanted more to do :)

Since then, the project has come a long way. For any public GitHub repo, GitBiome allows you to generate a world that is unique to the contents of the repo.

A few highlights:

- Unique worlds: environments and biomes are specific to the file types within the project, featuring animals, moving NPCs, and day/night cycles to feel more vibrant

- Jump right in: popular and trending repos are pre-generated so you can check them out instantly (but any public repo is fair game!)

- Play as a game: this has been my favorite addition. You can use Explore Mode to just walk the map, or Snowball Mode to have snowball fights with NPCs who actively want to take you out (and they're getting better every day!)

- Export your world: I've added a few bells and whistles, like the ability to export GIFs of panoramic views to add directly to your READMEs, or iframe embeds to visualize your repo on any site

Any feedback or requests would be appreciated! I've really enjoyed working on this project so far and plan to keep improving it going forward <3
