Turning GitHub stats into soccer cards is quirky, but who pays for that?
AI roast score: 55/100 (D)
The idea
GitHub stats as soccer cards? Nice novelty, but it's hard to see developers shelling out cash for digital pats on the back.
In the founder's own words
Younesfdj/gitfut — Your GitHub stats, turned into a World-Cup-style player card
GitFut
your GitHub, rated out of 99 ⚽
🃏 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.

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.
