Why I Built This

I wanted to practice consuming a real public REST API and handling async data fetching in React. The GitHub API was a natural fit — it's well documented, requires no auth for public data, and the results are immediately meaningful.

Note: The GitHub API has a rate limit of 60 requests/hour for unauthenticated requests. For higher limits, add a personal access token to a .env file as VITE_GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here
