This is a little bit reinventing the wheel.

  I'm curious which parts of the tool are similar to these, which look related to security.
  My app was built to visually explore repositories from different angles

  Would be nice if there was a way to aggregate all the projects people have had for augmenting GitHub data

I really like the idea of showing dormant areas of a project but also using git history to identify areas which are changed together. This could be useful for AI agents or understanding health of larger mono repos.
What is the most surprising thing you have seen in the data? Who would be buying/using this?

  I think the related files could be useful for ai agents. I recently wrote a CLI that an agent can pass in files and get back additional ones. Don't have enough data to see if it has materially changed performance i.e. finding extra files that it would have missed
  On the trends page, for some repos, you can see that the velocity hasn't materially went up, at least as a function of merged PRs (not that it is the only unit of value). But if you look at posthog, they seem to be crushing it and have a significant jump in merged PRs in the last few months

  Our software follows redirects and it looks like we got a 302 to /app. I've changed the URL at the top now.
