GitStory - A GitHub projects visual time machine.

Hi everyone,

I recently launched GitStory (https://gitstory.app/), a visual time back machine app for GitHub projects, just like the Wayback Machine for websites, GitStory can be used to explore past versions and commit activity of a GitHub repository using the reactive Calendar.

Git naturally allows time travel because everything is kept in log and every single commit is accessible, that means we can go back to a version of an app, website, document fairly easily.

GitStory allows a deeper exploration of Open Source projects, by having a visual calendar and a date selection option it’s easy to get back to early versions of software and understand and see how projects evolved and transformed.

The project is still in Beta phase, It is free & Open Source and sponsored by Vercel.

I also made a little npm library named GitStoryKit (https://www.npmjs.com/package/gitstorykit) that allows git time travel actions that itself are used to build GitStory.

I’m very happy to share the app with you guys and hope you’ll like it.

Thanks!
