Show HN: GitHub-powered instant developer portfolios

#1

Post by plsft »

I built remotedevelopers.com because I never want to write a resume again.

Connect your GitHub → it pulls your repos, skills, activity → generates a portfolio that's always up-to-date.

No resume. No cover letter. Just code you've shipped. You can add articles, posts, videos and other content into your timeline for potential employers to get a complete picture of your work.

It's AEO/SEO-ready, generates llm.txt files for each profile, and has an MCP for AI recruiters we all know are really making decisions.

I would love feedback.

Why does it require write access to change my Github profile and act on my behalf before I've decided if I want it to make any changes?

Hello, thanks for the feedback. I need to only read your profile but GH permissions only have read+write options for this data. I am researching workarounds. That said, I have no workflow or code that changes the profile in any way.

Interesting, that seems very short sighted on GitHub's behalf - I wonder what their reasoning is?
