Every time I want to share a GitHub project, I run into the same problem: a raw GitHub URL looks bad on social media, screenshotting the repo page is messy, and making a proper card in Figma takes time I don't have.
So I built RepoCard — paste any public GitHub repo URL and get a clean, shareable social card back instantly.
Try it: https://repocard-delta.vercel.app
What it does
Paste a repo URL like https://github.com/vercel/next.js and it generates a card with:
- Repository name and owner avatar
- Description
- Primary language with color indicator
- Star count
- A subtle "made with RepoCard" stamp
You can download it as a PNG or use it directly.
How it works (under the hood)
- 100% client-side — no backend, no server
- GitHub public API for all repo data (no auth needed for public repos)
-

Zero running costs. The whole thing is a single-page app.
The business model (being honest about it)
Free tier generates a card with a light watermark in the corner. $7 one-time removes it and unlocks two premium templates.
I'm trying to get the first paying customer this week. Haven't spent a dollar on marketing — starting with genuine communities first.
Day 1 numbers
Just launched. Watching for first 100 visitors. Will share the actual numbers in a follow-up post as they come in.
What I'd love feedback on
- Does the card look good enough to actually share? (Be brutal.)
- What repo would you want to generate a card for?
- Is $7 the right price, or is free-only the only viable model here?
The tool is live — paste your own repo in and tell me what breaks or looks wrong.
