Younesfdj/gitfut — Your GitHub stats, turned into a World-Cup-style player card

🃏 Embed your card
Your card lives at a URL. Drop it in your profile README, your portfolio, anywhere — and it re-scouts itself as your stats change.

⚙️ How the scouting works
Six signals from a live GitHub profile, each mapped to a football stat — read straight from GitHub's GraphQL API. No surveys, no self-reporting. Just the commits.

SHO

PAS

Lifetime contributions
Your overall is the headline. Raw stats cap at 88 — the 90s are a legacy gate, earned with years and influence, so one heroic year won't crown you an Icon. Your position and archetype are read from your stat shape: a shooting spike scouts a poacher up top, a defending-and-passing lean scouts a deep playmaker.
Every card walks out in a finish:

The roast
Your idea of turning GitHub stats into World Cup-style player cards is quirky and fun, but novelty alone won't pay the bills. The tech-savvy developer audience you're targeting is notoriously frugal, and without a clear revenue model (q7=not_decided, q9=undecided), this project risks being a hobby rather than a business. Plus, GitHub already offers robust stats, so your differentiation is minimal at best. The execution might be smooth with your tech skills (q13=solo, has_tech), but the market and monetization strategy are glaringly absent. Your biggest red flag is the lack of a clear path to revenue. Without it, you're just adding a layer of gamification to existing public data.
Red flags
- no clear revenue model
- target audience is unlikely to pay
- minimal differentiation from existing GitHub stats
Verdict
A fun project that lacks a viable business model and market demand.
