Which trends are useful to track/visualise?

We will have a lot of raw data on our hands once Hansel is up and running. The value is in determining what can be learned from that data.

Strongly related to #21.

For a personal/individual profile, I think the following information would be interesting to include:

Profile photo
Username
No. of followers (post-MVP, this would include an up arrow - in green - or down arrow - in red - to show movement in the last 24 hours)
No. of stars on my repos (again, post-MVP with an arrow indication of increase or decrease)
No. issues assigned to me (this one will be interesting to test because a lot of people we know actually don't use assigned issues
No. following (less important info, essentially a link to access people you follow)
No. starred repos (again, more of a link than anything else)
List of issues assigned to me

Post-MVP

7 day streak (showing square colours for last 7 days)
Where am I spending my time (top two languages I use - plays into dwyl)?
Top starred repos (of mine)
Repos I actually want to be known for (sometimes not actually the most popular ones from years ago but more recent interests)

Consistent coder vs short burst coder?
What have you been spending your time on recently - i.e. what are you interests right now?
Does a project historically accept contributions? (open vs merged PRs, including how recent the merge was)
Which are the most collaborative projects?
How recently was a person active?
Members of organisations with more than x thousand stars
Location breakdown of all github users/org users
Who are the rising stars of github?
