Hi HN! I built Commit Story to visualize the history behind any GitHub repository.
Enter any public repo URL and get:
- An interactive commit timeline with milestone markers
- Contribution heatmap (last 52 weeks via GitHub Statistics API)
- Stat cards: total commits, contributors, project age, weekly average
- Compare two repos side by side
- GitHub Wrapped: any user's profile summary
- Embeddable badges for your README

Try it with some well-known repos: - https://commitstory.dev/story/vercel/next.js - https://commitstory.dev/story/facebook/react - https://commitstory.dev/compare?repo1=vercel/next.js&repo2=f...
Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, GitHub API (Octokit), deployed on Vercel.
The whole thing is open source: https://github.com/scuton-technology/commit-story
I'd love to hear your feedback — what features would make this more useful for you?
