Step 2 Increase in open source contribution activity

Step 3 Quantifying the recruitment value of contribution history

→

Step 4 Converting open source contributions into recruitment portfolios

Problem

Developers' open source contributions — commits, issues, PRs, and code reviews — are scattered across their GitHub profiles, making it difficult to convincingly demonstrate their contribution level and impact to recruiters during job transitions. Manually compiling a portfolio takes an average of 10–15 hours, and the inability to quantitatively showcase technical skills leads to low resume screening pass rates.

Solution

Connect a GitHub account to automatically analyze commit, PR, issue, and review data — extracting contribution levels by tech stack, code quality metrics, and collaboration patterns — then generate a recruiter-friendly 'Open Source Resume' as a PDF or web page.

Target: Mid-career backend and infrastructure developers (2–7 years experience, ages 25–35) preparing for job transitions who are active open source contributors

Revenue Model: Premium Model: Basic profile free, detailed analysis + custom-designed PDF at $7.50 per transaction, Monthly Subscription (auto-update) at $14/month
