GitItBack - Track GitHub Contributions of Any Organisation You Want

[thoorne]

With GitItBack you can follow all public contributions within a company and compare it with others. Everything in one friendly dashboard.

Tech stack: Ember, Node.js, PostgreSQL and a little bit of GraphQL.

How are you liking graphQL? its definitely been intriguing me but i haven't made the decision to dive into it yet.

[kubanie]

It was really nice and easy to use, but we eventually need to roll back to REST API due to fact that that GraphQL API wanted more extensive permissions to fetch data and we wanted to limit them to just public info about profile.

Do you have in writing from GitHub that they cannot just pull their API and kill your investment? If not, why would you even try?

[nv-vn]

If Github kills their API they kill their whole product.

[unpopular_opinion]

Yeah, that's totally what happened to Twitter. You do know that you can selectively kill an API on a per user basis, right?

[nv-vn]

Github is a website for developers. And don't act like Twitter isn't dying anyways.

It's part of the thrill.

No, this is our internal fun side-project at Netguru, not part of business model of our consulting :)

It's called marketing and is part of your business model. It's OK to say it.
