Awesome project!! I love the idea.

Many people in open-source get frustrated that code contributions seem to be valued more highly than troubleshooting/documentation, and I agree with that frustration--sometimes the most important contributions are the ones that help others, not add more code.

It'd be great to reflect this in this tool! I'd love to see additional data, such as "issues created", "comments made on issues", and "wiki edits".

Also, it'd be awesome to have some sort of integration with other sites--for example, if a project uses an external bug tracker, it'd be neat to cross-reference the contributor's activity on that site. Not sure how feasible this would be to implement, though.

Totally agree (actually wanted to make something to do that - reviewing PRs, comments, triage, etc), but this is a good start since displaying all that data might get messy.

The nice thing about it now is that it does one thing and that it's simple (and not much thought into the UI since it's mostly a single piece of text)

Testing out showing the # of issues in #10

I'm not sure what api I can use to get the # of comments a user has made in a repo..

Doesn't look like theres a way to search comments in the API, so that would require a server and tracking data over time or taking advantage of https://www.githubarchive.org and in either case would be best done with a backend. I don't think there's a wiki api either actually. So doable, but would require some more work.

Looks like the only way to track wiki events is to use github archive events or tracking the repo events.
For comments we can search for issues related to a user and then search comments for each of those issues (might be a lot of requests).
