ever visit someone’s GitHub profile and wonder — hmm, do we know each other? well here’s an easy fix to traverse the builders social graph: ✨ getfollowedby.xyz ✨

followedby uses GitHub’s public API to fetch mutual followers for every profile you visit, straight to the profile page!

1. get set build: no package installs, followedby has 0 runtime dependancies
2. your data is yours: no logging or storage on any server, because there ain’t any!
3. clean and concise: built only using vanilla JS and the web API
4. feels like it belongs: all UI config is inspired from GitHub Sponsors, making followed by look like a first party product!

followed by is available on the chrome and firefox stores. for folks on safari, dev is under progress; for now, check out how to unpack extensions here

git clone https://github.com/parzuko/followedby.git
cd followedby

from here you can use the same unpacking process for extension!

this project was made purely out of fun, to take my mind off things and just build! feel free to contribute by creating issues/PRs and i will review them when i get the time. potential future features, might include follows you badges, safari support and migrating to typescript.

made for fun, and maybe for myself ✌️

say hi :)
