GitCity turns GitHub contributions into drivable 3D city

GitCity transforms a GitHub contribution graph into an interactive isometric city where each commit adds a building and steady activity raises the skyline. The standout hook is simulation mode, which lets you drive through the city you built from your code history, and it also ships with six visual themes, an embeddable README SVG, no-login username lookup, and an open-source project that makes it easy to try and share.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is a genuinely sticky visualization idea because it turns an abstract developer metric into something playful, legible, and shareable.

–The core mechanic is simple but memorable: more consistent commits create a denser, taller city.
–Simulation mode is the differentiator; it gives the project a stronger demo moment than a standard stats dashboard.
–The embeddable SVG makes it useful beyond novelty, since it can live in READMEs and profiles.
–No-login username lookup lowers friction and helps it spread virally.
–The open-source positioning fits the audience and increases trust for a developer-facing toy/tool.
