Project Mood

Create a badge by pointing an image markup tag to /:owner/:repo.svg e.g. /healeycodes/project-mood.svg. The API works with any public repository.

Git commits are scanned using the GitHub API to create a dynamic badge based off average commit time.

SVGs will have the average commit time as hover text via the inner-SVG tag <title>.

Roadmap 🚗

If I continue working on this, these are the things that will need to be addressed:

• Caching:
  • Repositories should be scanned infrequently rather than per request.
  • We can store the most recently requested SVGs in memory.
  • Basically, don't generate the SVG for every request (which is used for the prototype).
• Blended colors depending on average time rather than fixed colors.
