Hey @Edwinhr716, @hasB4K, and @yankay! 👋

I know you’re all busy reviewing things over in kubernetes-sigs, but I’m building something on the side and would genuinely love your perspective on it.

🌍 GitWorld Engine — your GitHub profile as a living pixel-art city

It’s a GitHub Action that reads your real contribution data (commits, repos, stars, PRs, issues, languages) and procedurally generates an animated SVG world you can embed directly in your profile README.

• 🏙️ Repos → cities, commits → buildings, PRs → boss towers
• 🌙 Day/Night cycle based on your contribution streak
• 🌧️ Real-time weather auto-detected from your GitHub profile location
• 🚂 Trains, 🚗 moving vehicles, 🐦 birds — all animated in pure SVG, no canvas
• 🏰 Biome theme adapts to your top language (Rust Wasteland, Go Realm, TS Empire…)

As heavy open-source contributors with hundreds of commits and PRs, your generated world would be incredibly rich — I’d love to see what it looks like for your profiles!

🧪 Try it on your profile (2 minutes)

1. Create .github/workflows/gitworld.yml in any repo:

name: GitWorld
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *'
  workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: Dasmat13/git-world-action@main
        with:
          github_user_name: ${{ github.actor }}
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: gitworld-svg
          path: dist/gitworld.svg

2. Embed in your README:

![GitWorld](dist/gitworld.svg)

That’s it — no API keys, no setup, fully automatic.

🗳️ Back to the poll

Which of these roadmap features would make you actually want this on your profile?

🌙 Day/Night cycle · 🌧️ Weather · 🚗 Vehicles · 🚂 Trains · 🏰 More biomes · 🎮 Animations

Would love to hear your thoughts — both as a user and as someone who reviews real infrastructure tooling! 🙏

Hi @thc1006! 👋

I noticed you in the community and wanted to ask if you'd be willing to take a quick look at GitWorld Engine.

It's a GitHub Action that turns GitHub contribution data into an animated pixel-art world (SVG) for profile READMEs. I'm currently collecting feedback on the roadmap and would really value your thoughts.

If you have a few minutes, I'd love to hear:

• Which roadmap feature interests you most?
• Any ideas for improving the project?
• Whether there's anything that would make you more likely to use it yourself.

The discussion is here: #1 – "🌍 What feature would you most want in GitWorld Engine?"

Thanks in advance, and no worries if you're busy!
