Blame

2026-07-01

A client-side Next.js web application designed to scan GitHub repositories, resolve contributor identities, and audit commit counts directly in the browser.

Blame

A powerful client-side contributor aggregation and outreach tool designed to answer one crucial question for any GitHub repository: "who actually contributed, and how much?" By extracting names, emails, and commit frequencies directly from the browser, Blame enables recruiters, project leads, and open-source audit tools to quickly locate and connect with repository contributors.

Tech Stack

  • Next.js — powering the client-side single-page web application with Turbopack, React 19, and the App Router
  • TypeScript — ensuring static typing, safety, and robust code structures for component interfaces and utility functions
  • GitHub REST API — fetching commit lists, resolving user profiles, and aggregating histories directly from the browser without intermediate servers
  • Tailwind CSS — styling the user interface with a sleek, modern, dark-themed responsive layout and interactive animations

Features

  • Runs client-side to query api.github.com without backend storage, keeping scans private
  • Employs a DP-based fuzzy matcher to filter results with word-boundary and run bonuses
  • Supports personal access tokens directly from the browser to raise API rate limits
  • Groups commits by GitHub profile and resolves usernames from private email aliases
  • Exports aggregated results as a CSV file or copies them directly as markdown
  • Filters merge commits, sorts results, and limits the total contributor list size
