Followed By - For GitHub

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!

🤔 it’s cool, but is it any good?

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!

🤩 want to use followed by?

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

🛠 want to install followedby, locally?

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

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

🫡 plans for the future?

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 :)
