How it's made
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.
