The org chart that forgets deleted repos

The startup idea

The problem

An organization's page lists repos, and still does not say who the work depends on.

Who would pay for this?

Primary

A developer choosing an open-source organization to join.

Secondary

Someone who will add a token when 60 requests is not enough.

Early adopter

One public org, under the signed-out cap.

How could it make money?

Possible models. Nothing here is a claim about what OrgExplorer charges.

• No price. GPLv3.
• GitHub's API is the meter.
• The post does not name a seat.

What would the MVP look like?

1. One organization dashboard.
2. The 60-request line.
3. A token path, optional.
4. Deleted repos named as missing.

How to validate the idea

• Ask five people whether a deleted repo still appears.
• If the hour stops at 60, that is the product, not a bug to hide.
• Do not promise a complete history.

How to differentiate

• It stays in the browser.
• The risk view is who the work depends on.
• No server of its own.
• Do not become a GitHub host.

Product that inspired this idea

Rahul's post says OrgExplorer v1.0.0 is an open-source look at a GitHub organization's activity, built during GSoC 2026 with AOSSIE. The readme says GPLv3. It runs in the browser on GitHub's REST API. There is no backend. Signed out, the diagram in the readme caps the hour at 60 requests. A personal access token raises that. Deleted repositories and complete historical totals are not in the numbers. The site is orgexplorer.aossie.org. The post does not mention the hourly cap, or the history that is missing. This page did not open an organization.

• A checklist the coding agent cannot hide

  A plain-language checklist beside Claude Code that pauses for an OK, says when a step is stuck, and puts the limit and the cost on the same screen.

• A coding agent that runs a small model in the browser

  A coding assistant that runs locally in the browser on a small model, for people who will not send the repo out.

• A desktop for making games with the model you already pay for

  A local app that turns a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, or a local model, into a game-making bench.

• A drive that files the document and cites the page

  Upload a pile of files, have them land in a folder a person would recognize, and answer a question with the page it came from.

• A record of whether the setup actually worked

  Show a trader how often a setup played out, with the sample size next to the number, on data they already have.
