Show HN: Open-source certificate from GitHub activity (certificate.brendonmatos.com)
LandenLove 9 days ago [-]
Fun idea! Seems like a pretty complex tech stack.

My only recommendation is to add better input filtering on the front end. For example, I initially copy and pasted the whole URL and it gave a 400 error. e.g. https://github.com/QCgeneral29/

Then I realized it was only the username, so I deleted the url part, but forgot to remove the / at the end e.g.

QCgeneral29/

Another 400 error. Finally, I entered QCgeneral29 and it worked.

Good idea!! I'll implement a better input handling for it I'll accept the entire github url, and i'll also trim the input Thank you for the heads-up!

It’s pretty easy to forge git commit dates and push them to a private repo. Does this account for that?

For some badges, it is indeed easy to cheat. However, for badges like merging a PR into a repository with 10k or 100k stars, it's much harder to spoof

Edit: same for badges related to creating a repo that reaches x amount of stars and helpful comments on issues

Nice idea, how about even more badges? Might be some challenge for the clean looking Certificate...
brendonmatos 12 days ago [-]
yea, it really is a challenge! currently, I have a sorting working to fetch the most relevant badges. I only show the top 3 to keep the certificate clean
