devfinder

Devfinder is your gateway to discovering and connecting with developers from around the world. Whether you're looking to collaborate, learn from others, or simply explore what talented developers are building, Devfinder provides a window into their professional journey. By aggregating data from GitHub and Twitter, it offers insights into developers' projects, contributions, and social presence all in one place. Think of it as a developer-focused directory where you can:

Explore developers' featured projects and repositories See their public activity and contributions Connect with them through their social and professional profiles Get insights into their technical expertise and interests

Whether you're a recruiter looking for talent, a developer seeking collaborators, or simply curious about the developer community, Devfinder helps you find and learn more about the people behind the code.

How Devfinder Was Built 🛠️ Devfinder's current iteration was built through a multi-step data collection and integration process:

Data Collection Pipeline

Primary scraping of ETHGlobal hackathon participants to identify active web3 developers Integration with GitHub's API to pull comprehensive developer profiles, including:

Public repositories Contribution data Personal information

Basic Twitter profile linking

Current Limitations

Due to time constraints, the dataset is currently limited to a subset of ETHGlobal participants Rate limiting on GitHub's API affects how many profiles we can fetch Basic Twitter integration (only profile URLs)

Future Roadmap

Expand data sources to include:

More hackathon platforms beyond ETHGlobal Deeper Twitter integration for social engagement metrics Additional developer platforms and communities

Implement real-time data updates Add more granular developer activity metrics Expand the profile dataset significantly

Tech Stack

Data Collection: Web scraping + Python Data Processing: Pyhton Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS Data Storage: JSON (current MVP phase)

The project is currently in its MVP phase, focusing on proving the concept while setting the foundation for a more comprehensive developer discovery platform.
