I use the same endpoint to populate my profile readme: https://github.com/TomasHubelbauer

It has been working well for me. Saved me a ton of clicks over the years I'm sure.

I like the fact that you just shipped this in a single .html file, no react slop

Would be a great CLI tool. I am not super fond of sharing a a github token on a website.

Git Log has a `--since` and `--until` flags where you can specify dates. It also accepts relative times, like `yesterday` and `last week`. I've found it very handy before meetings.

I had a cron that would aggregate the Git contributions my team made which I’d summarize and share out to leadership at the end of each week. I’m sure with an off the shelf LLM the entire process could be automated now.

Yeah. But the OP tool shows activity like commenting on issues, etc.

Hi, it often happens to me, that I write a comment, mark issue as "done" on the notification page, but then I can't find it again.

I rediscovered a tool I created for this 8 years ago and after a little tweak it works perfectly. Enjoy :-)

This, combined with the possibility to also show events from gitlab would be really nice, since for work I work with gitlab (which I like better than github).

Gitlab also has an api to do this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/events.html - so should probably be doable to add it.

Monday I have nothing to do.

Tuesday I have nothing to do.

Wednesday I have nothing to do.

Thursday I have nothing to do.

Friday I have nothing to do.

"Have the KPIs of my life failed to grow year over year?"

GitHub has no idea what I did yesterday and I intend to keep it that way.

I just want to point out that this is using jQuery 1.11.3 which is and odd choice imo.

I wonder if they just started on codepen with a random snippet, that so happened to have an old jQuery, and then went on with it. I've done that before, where I find a codepen snippet, and iterate over it, without caring for what versions used on it.

Especially for this small of a site. And they even mixin vanilla "patterns" rather than use jQuery. Very strange.

LLM idiosyncrasy maybe? I can totally imagine an interaction with a LLM making choices like this.

Not if it was initial put together in 2016:

Author and licence

This was really made in 2016. I hacked it together back then, and forgot about it. Now I needed to check what did I do yesterday, and I remembered that I once made this tool. It needed just a quick update of the authorization header.

Since this is missing on github, i thought it could be useful for other people. :-)

i have a similar thing going on in my portfolio https://sean.app/activity where it displays my most recent activities. octokit is great!

It did not in fact show me the events on my private repos.

You would need to call the api using personal token which is not available looking into the source code.

pretty neat but the real value would be to also include every commit I made
