Overview
GitHub Profile Viewer is a web platform designed to help you explore and analyze GitHub profiles in depth. Originally built with Next.js and Radix UI, the project was later reimagined with Blazor and .NET for improved performance and a more robust developer experience. The application leverages the GitHub REST API to provide real-time insights into any public GitHub profile.

- Network Mapping: Visualize a developer’s professional network and discover key collaborators.
- Contribution Analysis: View detailed contribution statistics and starred repositories to assess activity and influence.
