Gitwork ranks developers from public GitHub output and turns each profile into a scored player card. Browse country squads by role, search in plain English, post hiring requests, and message developers who have claimed their profile and marked themselves available.

I loved what GitFut did: turn a GitHub profile into a rated player card from real output (commits, reviews, stars, languages). Once you have credibility on GitHub, people on freelancing sites start pointing at your profile as proof you can ship.
That made me wonder: what if clients could skip the marketplace middleman and come straight to you when you're open for work?
Gitwork is that layer. Scout any @username and get a scored card. Browse top devs in a country by position. Or search in plain English ("Python backend in Nairobi", "senior React dev in London") and get a ranked shortlist. Developers claim via GitHub OAuth and mark themselves available. Clients post a request or message claimed talent directly.
Scoring engine and card UI are ported from GitFut (MIT). I added search, claims, messaging, squad discovery, and shortlists on top.

the part I'd want to understand before trusting a score is what it does to someone who does great work at a company with a private repo all day and only pushes weekend side projects publicly, versus someone who commits noisy formatting changes and doc typo fixes to public repos constantly. public GitHub activity correlates with output but it also correlates with how much of your job happens to be open source. does the scoring try to normalize for that at all, or is it explicitly "public output only, make your peace with it"?

@galdayan Thats a legitimate concern including maybe people who will maybe now buy stars
But I think the algorithm can be improved and I was on, Most non noisy high ranking public contributors also do great work at a company
And for example if private repos were to be in the equation, the calibration will just change
Happy to hear what you think

@olebogeng_mbedzi fair enough - "make your peace with public output only" is at least an honest constraint to state upfront rather than pretending the score is a full picture of someone's engineering ability. would rather see that caveat on the card itself than have a client assume it's comprehensive

@galdayan Thanks a lot for this feedback, I will definitely have this implemented

honestly the player card idea is kind of fun, made browsing way more engaging than another boring list. plain english search worked pretty well when i tried it too.

the oauth integration makes this a really smooth experience and the github stats base the profile in reality, well done.
The player card scoring idea feels genuinely fresh, like turning GitHub activity into something you'd actually want to browse rather than another dry analytics dashboard.
