GitHub - zozo123/peter-gt-your-org: Rank your GitHub R&D org against @steipete in the absurd unit of one Peter. Next.js 15 + React 19.

How Many Peters?

Rank your GitHub R&D org against @steipete in one absurd, useful unit: the Peter.

A Next.js demo that takes verified 2026 YTD GitHub activity (commits, PRs, issues) and prices it in Peters — where 1 Peter = @steipete's YTD output as a solo developer. It's part benchmark, part roast, part trust-building exercise about what GitHub-visible metrics can and can't say about an engineering org.

What you get Type any org slug (supabase, microsoft, awslabs, vercel, …) and the page renders:

Total Peters — your YTD verified GitHub motion ÷ Peter's. Peter Density — Peters per active contributor. Keeps big orgs honest. Momentum — projected year-end totals at current pace. Cohort rank — you're compared against orgs your size, not just the whole field. A diagnosis paragraph — a roast/observation about whether you out-commit Peter, out-collaborate Peter, or quietly lose to Peter on density.

Mobile

Quickstart git clone https://github.com/zozo123/peter-gt-your-org.git cd peter-gt-your-org npm install npm run dev Open http://localhost:3000. No env vars required — the public preview ships with verified 2026 YTD snapshots for Supabase, Microsoft, Google, AWS, Vercel, Linear and a couple of demo orgs.

Connecting a real org (private coverage) Public mode counts only what's GitHub-visible. To include private repos for an org you have access to, hand the Next.js server a token: GITHUB_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)" npm run dev The token is read server-side only — it is never sent to the browser. It's used to call GET /search/commits, GET /search/issues and GET /orgs/:org against the GitHub REST API. Environment variables

Var Required What it does

GITHUB_TOKEN (or GH_TOKEN) for live mode Server-only token used to call GitHub Search + Orgs APIs.

GITHUB_ORG for live mode Org slug to live-fetch (e.g. vercel).

Added to the leaderboard as a live row.

GITHUB_ORG_ACTIVE_CONTRIBUTORS optional Denominator for Peter Density. If unset, density isn't shown for the live org.

GITHUB_ORG_REPOSITORIES optional Override the repo count surfaced in the trust panel.

GITHUB_ORG_DISPLAY_NAME optional Friendly name shown in the UI. Defaults to the GitHub org's name.

Copy .env.example to .env.local to set these locally.

Methodology

Window: 2026 YTD — everything since 2026-01-01. What counts: verified commits, pull requests, and issues created in the window. Reviews and other signals are folded in for orgs where the data is available. Peter baseline: @steipete's public GitHub activity over the same window, treated as 1.0 Peters. Tiers:

< 0.1 — GitHub Intern Energy 0.1 – 0.5 — Warming Up 0.5 – 0.9 — Dangerous 0.9 – 1.1 — Peter-Class 1.1 – 2.0 — More Than One Peter 2.0 – 5.0 — Peter Factory ≥ 5.0 — Industrialized Peter

What this is not: a productivity score, a hiring signal, a promotion artifact, or a fair comparison across companies of wildly different sizes. The Peter Density metric exists specifically to flag the "we have 5,000 engineers, so of course we out-commit one guy" failure mode.

Deploy Click the Deploy with Vercel button at the top of this README, or: npx vercel Next.js 15 auto-detects on Vercel — no vercel.json needed. To enable private-org coverage in production, set GITHUB_TOKEN in your Vercel project's environment variables.

Tech

Next.js 15.5 (App Router, Turbopack) React 19 Tailwind CSS v4 TypeScript 5 No database, no auth, no client-side secrets — the GitHub token (when present) is read on the server and never serialized to the client.
