This city is alive. Each tower is one of my repos, sized by its stars and redrawn every day.
Click a tower to visit it, press a leaf to vote for the tower that gets a rooftop garden,
or light a window and your name joins the skyline.

How this page works
No JavaScript runs here. GitHub doesn't allow it, so everything is a picture that happens to be alive.
- The city is data. A GitHub Action reads each repo's stars once a day and redraws its tower. More stars, more floors. A blinking beacon means the repo changed this month.
- Every tower is its own picture, placed edge to edge, which is why you can click them one by one.
- The motion is CSS inside SVG. The headline, the shooting stars and the flickering windows are drawn once and animate on their own. If your device asks for less motion, they hold still.
- The year view is my contribution graph in 3D. Each day of the last year is a building, taller on busier days. It rises in a wave when the page loads and is redrawn daily.
- The product shots are real. The repo.ing and Ohiyo screens are actual screenshots, stored inside each picture and framed in a drawn browser window and phone.
- Night and day follow your theme. Switch GitHub between dark and light and the city goes from night to dawn.
- Lighting a window opens an issue. An Action reads only your username, adds a lit window and your avatar to the ticker, redraws the city and closes the issue, usually within a minute.
- The leaves are a vote. Each one opens an issue too. One vote per person, and the tower in the lead grows a rooftop garden.
- The game is real. Four in a row, visitors against visitors. Each arrow opens an issue; an Action checks the move, drops the disc and keeps score. Nobody can move twice in a row.
- The moon is tonight's moon. Its phase is worked out from the date. The traffic and the airship are just for fun.
- "Recently shipped" is real too. It shows the newest commit on each project, read daily.
- The weather is the real season. Snow in winter, petals in spring, fireflies in summer, falling leaves in autumn, and fireworks on New Year's Day and my GitHub anniversary.
- The project cards update too. Their star counts are read daily, and the repo.ing fee figure comes from repo.ing's own public badge.
