gfStat is a tool for GitHub users that provides insights into your GitHub followers and following. With gfStat, you can easily discover:
- Mutual followers: See who follows you and whom you follow back.
- Followers you don't follow: Find out who follows you, but you don't follow back.
- Following that don't follow you: Identify GitHub users you follow, but they don't follow you in return.
It's a side project to learn a bunch of new technologies and tools and practice writing. I am using Go again because I've been doing data structures and algorithms for a long enough time now which made me unable to write effective Go code.
- About 99% of the project is built in Go the rest of it is simple HTML templating.
- The only external dependency that I have used is GitHub's Go SDK, the rest of application is built standard library.
