Fun idea! Seems like a pretty complex tech stack.

My only recommendation is to add better input filtering on the front end. For example, I initially copy and pasted the whole URL and it gave a 400 error. e.g. https://github.com/QCgeneral29/

Then I realized it was only the username, so I deleted the url part, but forgot to remove the / at the end e.g.

QCgeneral29/

Another 400 error. Finally, I entered QCgeneral29 and it worked.

Good idea!! I'll implement a better input handling for it I'll accept the entire github url, and i'll also trim the input Thank you for the heads-up!
