Hey HN
After years working in software engineering and helping with hiring, I noticed a frustrating pattern:
Companies often rely on résumés and LinkedIn titles to find developers instead of looking at what they've actually built.
So I built GitMatcher.
It analyzes GitHub profiles to surface developers based on:
Their public repos
Commit history
Originality and usefulness of code
Patterns that show consistency and real skill
No keywords. No job titles. Just code.
GitMatcher is useful if you're:
- A recruiter tired of resume roulette
- A founder looking for a technical co-founder
- An OSS maintainer searching for genuine contributors
It’s still early, so I’d love your feedback especially around what signals you’d care about most when discovering devs.
