Profile

I often find myself wanting to quickly compare the adoption curves of different open-source projects, but I usually bounce when a tool asks me to generate and paste a GitHub personal access token just to view a chart.To make this completely frictionless, I built Startrail. It’s a simple visualizer that handles the API fetching under the hood, so you can just drop in some repos and get the data instantly.A few quick features: - Zero setup: No API keys, no logins, and no rate-limit warnings. - Side-by-side comparison: You can plot up to 12 repositories on the same chart. - Clean and accessible: Work smoothly on mobile for quick checks on the go.I originally built it for my own quick benchmarks

Why I built another GitHub star tracker is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
