01 The brief
Search a GitHub user and show profile, repos, and followers without dumping JSON on the page.
02 The problem
GitHub data is dense. The job was to search a user and present profile, repos, and followers without turning it into a dashboard dump.
03 The decision
React + GitHub API. Rejected a dense admin table. Hierarchy first, numbers second.
04 The build
React against the GitHub API. Search first, then a readable profile with the numbers that actually matter.
- User search against GitHub
- Repos and followers in one view
- Quiet information hierarchy
05 The result
A working explorer that taught me how to shape third-party JSON into a layout people can scan.
