Students need to show employers real-world software experience in order to stand out.
A report card that outlines a student's open-source experience at Grey Software can allow them to stand apart from the competition.
Every contributor to Grey Software will be able to generate an authentic report card by entering their username into grey.software/report-card
Contributors will be able to share a PDF of this report on websites like LinkedIn.
A link-able version of their report card will also be available at grey.software/report-card/GITHUB_USERNAME if they choose to.
Implementation Details 🛠️
We'll add a page to our website under /report-card that will have an input box for Github usernames.
Once users enter their usernames and click "Generate", our backend will scrape Github and query its API to generate a PDF of their report card.
If they choose to (via a checkbox), they can host their report card publicly on our website.
Additional Notes:
Students struggling to demonstrate real-world software experience will now be able to show their open-source work in a professional manner.
Students could link their contributor cards from the Github insights page for every repo they have contributed to.
