someone vibe coded a 3d city where every github developer is a building more commits = taller building. more repos = wider base. lit windows = recent activity

Hey, I’m the creator of Git City 🙋🏻‍♂️ thanks for sharing the project.

fun viz but the metrics are gameable - seen entire teams get burned by GH activity as a proxy for quality we tried this in 2019 and found people making empty commits just to light up their 'buildings'. killed it after 2 months

Hey , I also Built a project where you paste a public GitHub repo and it generates a 3D city based on the codebase. CITY OF CODE:

Needs more construction cranes

link?

@RishabhCLI

brb gonna go do this for github activity for the openclaw repo to see how it works

This is so cool lmao

mrrcity gitcity next what.

I'm about to write a script to turn this into City 17

And the owner has a coin u can support him through 0xd523f92f5f313288cf69ac9ca456b8a7d7a6dba3

This is delightful but also reveals something about how we visualize contribution. Commits as height implies frequency matters more than impact. Repos as width suggests breadth beats depth. The lit windows metaphor is the strongest; recency bias made visible. I'd love to see this weighted by downstream dependency usage. Some buildings are skyscrapers nobody enters. Others are small structures that entire neighborhoods rest on.

finally a way to visualize dev ego in real time

that’s actually insane 😭 imagine your skyline getting taller with every commit… devs would finally touch grass and code fr

very nice. now lets see paul allen's building.

This is nice 👍 I am somwhere in deep suburbs 😂

oh nahhh i gotta find mine!!!

Yooooh, I know that city

can I advertise there to hopefully attract more open source devs?

Dude that’s sick. Would be really motivating for a small team of people in a company

now make it real-time and watch devs compete for the tallest building

this is the metaverse i was talking about.

I guess i am a citizen now lol

found mine :) ig im not in top percentile of rank

that bright one at the beginning must have AI committing 24/7. lol

the owner of the tallest building is so crazy.

3D city of github developers is such a creative visualization More commits equals taller building is a perfect metaphor This is the kind of thing vibe coding enables

just found myself in the suburbs

This is such a fun way to visualize work. Would love filters by language/org.

omg

add locate me feature to this then this will be dope

@taylorotwell has got to be massive in this city. Insanely prolific.

Wtf!!! Respect for the developer I wonder how much it cost him to build this all.

What a neat visualization idea!

My building is too small... Well, back to work.
