Is the app that quantifies your contributions to the open-source world, helps you engage with other projects and bake new project ideas.
You can try out the app at http://github-connect.herokuapp.com.
This is still in beta, so your feedback is welcome.
For a quick setup, just run make setup in the root directory. This should work on both Linux and OSX. Then make run will start the db and app at http://localhost:3000.
