So I've been thinking about somehow utilizing the github API to create good looking show-off pages for a given user. i.e Pulling all the repos they've contributed to and providing links to each with /commits?author=... Maybe sorted by popularity or something.

I started playing around with something, too, using fat-grabby-hands, but then it was broken and I couldn't figure out how to fix it easily and I just lost motivation.

But yeah, I think something automated could be great - have you seen resume.github.com? I'd love to be able to sort/group based on language, recency, lines of code, percentage of contribution, and a few other things.

I had not seen Resume.github ... that's cool, perhaps we should fork it. That's precisely what I was thinking, but with more info / interactivity and less of a Resume feel (skeuomorphism is passe :-)

I decided to start working on this again this weekend. See xiongchiamiov/portfolinator.
