Website Finder

Discover open-source developer portfolios by searching GitHub with rotating keywords, preview them in an iframe, and save the ones you like.

Features

Background GitHub search — runs continuously, rotating through keywords in data/keywords.txt (starts with portfolio). Only repos with 5+ stars that were updated recently (default: last 180 days) are included.

Found websites log — data/found_websites.txt with githubuser,githublink,websitelink,starnumber,mainlangused

Seen blacklist — skipped or saved sites go into data/seen_websites.txt and won't show again

Main list — saved portfolios in data/main_websites.txt

Web UI — iframe preview with Skip and Add to main list buttons (keyboard: S / A)

Setup

Install dependencies:

npm install

Copy .env.example to .env and add a GitHub token (recommended):

copy .env.example .env

Create a token at github.com/settings/tokens with no scopes (public repo read is enough). Without a token you get ~60 API requests/hour; with a token ~5000/hour.

Start the server:

npm start

Open http://localhost:3000.

Customization

Keywords — edit data/keywords.txt (one keyword per line). The backend alternates through them on each search cycle.

Search interval — set SEARCH_INTERVAL_MS in .env (default: 60000 = 1 minute).

Port — set PORT in .env (default: 3000).

Star filter — set MIN_STARS (default: 5) and MAX_STARS (default: 5000).

Recency filter — set PUSHED_WITHIN_DAYS (default: 180). Only repos pushed within that window are searched; results are sorted by most recently updated.

Data files

File<br>Purpose

data/found_websites.txt<br>All discovered portfolio sites from GitHub

data/seen_websites.txt<br>Blacklist of URLs you've already reviewed

data/main_websites.txt<br>Portfolios you chose to keep

data/keywords.txt<br>Search keywords (rotated automatically)

How discovery works

The backend searches GitHub repos matching the current keyword (name, description, readme).

It extracts a personal website from the repo homepage field or README links.

GitHub/social/npm links are filtered out; custom domains are kept.

New sites are appended to found_websites.txt.

The UI shows the next unseen site in an iframe.

Notes

Some sites block iframe embedding (X-Frame-Options); use Open in new tab for those.

Forks are skipped to focus on original portfolios.
