Show HN: GitHub Stats Dashboard Powered by GraphQL API and GitHub Action

I know other existing projects like this (GitHub profile generators), although I like the idea you can customize the template.

However, it requires quite effort to deploy this one as you need to setup different services for the DB, deployment, etc. Since the data is pushed based on a GitHub action, I'm wondering if it's possible to just build a static site based on it. In the end, we're storing "snapshots" of the data to query them later.

Yes, since the data pipeline is universal, there can be multiple options on the UI, such as https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence, which can regularly build static reports using SQL and data from the database through GitHub Actions.

Agreed, I like it, but I'd be way more interested if it dumped out a static site on a GH Pages branch. I've never even heard of 'TiDB Cloud', I don't really want an account and billing there, to have to wonder about their security practices and likelihood of disappearing overnight (quite high? because I haven't even heard of them?) just for GitHub profile readme.

I don't understand why this requires Vercel. This could just be hosted on GitHub pages instead.
