@jywarren Can you please give your opinion.

@govindgoel Can I work on this issue?

[govindgoel]

@karthikshetty03 It has to be reviewed first.

How about making the whole diagram interactive and implementing hoverable circles like this...

sample.mp4

and then we can also link the circles to respective github repos wherever applicable...

[govindgoel]

@waridrox we can also do that, what I thought is to provide short info regarding the projects.

Hi all! I wonder - is it possible to pull project descriptions from the GitHub API? I think this is an interesting idea and could take some more discussion and research. I'm a bit more inclined to think about adding project descriptions into the list of projects by language than to take on a more complex interactive visualization within the scope of this project. We don't want an overwhelming amount of information as it can be intimidating to newcomers!

We are especially interested in different ways to display and sort collections of issues and contributors, like #315 -- so if you're interested in building things out a bit, we'd love your help and assistance on those kinds of issues! Thank you!!

Yes @jywarren , I think it's possible to pull descriptions, here's a glimpse of the same 😄 - https://api.github.com/orgs/publiclab/repos?type=all

Oh, that's great. Shall we perhaps change the title to something like "Expanding per-project info with descriptions"?
