Description

GitHub Commit Data Visualizer (probably using D3)

Problem: GitHub has become the social network for all developers. It changes the way how we collaborate and share things. As a user who wants to better understand his/her git activities, however, there is very few good existing tools to use. GitHub does offer graph service, but it only tracks activities of a particular repository and only static data with limited options.
Solution: We are going to build an interactive data visualization of activities of a GitHub user/repo.
Tools/Libraries we use d3.js(http://d3js.org/), GitHub APIs, etc
