What is this?A visualization tool for your GitHub presence: it turns a GitHub profile into a visual summary page instead of the plain profile view.
Is it a hosted website, or something I run myself?Both options exist: it's a self-hostable web app — a Kotlin backend built on the Javalin framework serving a Vue frontend in your browser.
How do I get it running?The repo includes Docker support, so the quickest path is running it as a container; building from source is documented in Documentation/Building.md.
Do I need anything besides Docker to run it?No — it's one self-contained web service with no separate client to install; once the server is up you just open it in a browser.
Will it run on my machine, or does it need a proper server?Either: the backend is a JVM app that runs wherever Docker or Java runs — a laptop, home server or VPS — and the UI is a regular web page.
Where does it get the data it visualizes?Straight from GitHub via its API — the project is built on the GitHub API, so it summarizes an online GitHub profile rather than scanning your local repositories.
Is there a live demo I can check before self-hosting?Yes — the README leads with a Demo button next to its Building and Usage docs, so you can preview a rendered profile before installing anything.
