Willdolater.dev – find ancient todo comments

Hey HN!

I recently spent a weekend building this fun little project when a friend and I were comparing legacy codebases we'd worked on. I had the sudden idea that it would be funny to compile old TODO comments to see who else procrastinates tech debt as much as some we've seen.

The site is pretty slow; namely cloning and git blaming on repos with a large git history is naturally slow. If anyone has any fun hacks to make this more efficient - the code for this is open source! https://github.com/rupert648/willdolater.dev
