Pros of isometric-contributions

• Provides a unique 3D isometric view of GitHub contributions
• Offers customization options for colors and tile height
• Lightweight and easy to integrate into GitHub profiles

Cons of isometric-contributions

• Limited to visualizing only GitHub contributions
• Less dynamic and interactive compared to snk
• Hasn't been updated recently, potentially lacking newer GitHub features

Code Comparison

isometric-contributions:

var ContributionsGraph = function(options) {
  this.data = options.data;
  this.colorScheme = options.colorScheme || defaultColorScheme;
  this.setCanvasSize();
};

snk:

export const generateSnakeAnimation = async (
  cells: Cells,
  options: Options = {}
): Promise<SnakeAnimation> => {
  const snake = createSnake(cells);
  return { snake, cells };
};

Summary

isometric-contributions offers a visually appealing 3D representation of GitHub contributions, while snk provides a more interactive and dynamic snake game-style visualization. isometric-contributions is simpler and focuses solely on contributions, whereas snk offers a broader range of customization and interactivity. The code comparison shows that isometric-contributions uses JavaScript and focuses on graph rendering, while snk utilizes TypeScript and emphasizes animation generation.

Pros of github-contributions-chart

• Generates a high-resolution image of the contributions chart
• Supports custom color schemes and themes
• Can be easily integrated into other applications or websites

Cons of github-contributions-chart

• Limited to static image generation
• Doesn't offer interactive or animated visualizations
• Requires server-side processing for image generation

Code Comparison

snk:

const cells = frame.map((_, i) => ({
  x: i % width,
  y: Math.floor(i / width),
  color: colors[frame[i]],
}));

github-contributions-chart:

const chartData = data.map(day => ({
  date: day.date,
  count: day.count,
  color: getColor(day.count, colors)
}));

Both projects use similar approaches to map contribution data to visual elements, but snk focuses on creating animated SVGs, while github-contributions-chart generates static images.

Pros of profile-summary-for-github

• Provides a comprehensive overview of a user's GitHub activity
• Offers visual representations of data through charts and graphs
• Includes language statistics and repository information

Cons of profile-summary-for-github

• Requires server-side setup and hosting
• Less customizable for individual user preferences
• May have limitations on API rate limits for high-traffic instances

Code Comparison

profile-summary-for-github (Java):

public static List<Repository> getRepositories(String user) throws IOException {
    String repos = fetch("https://api.github.com/users/" + user + "/repos");
    return Arrays.asList(gson.fromJson(repos, Repository[].class));
}

snk (JavaScript):

export const drawSnake = (
  snake: Snake,
  { x, y }: Point,
  cellSize: number,
  ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D
) => {
  ctx.fillStyle = colors.snake;
  for (const { x: dx, y: dy } of snake)
    ctx.fillRect(x + dx * cellSize, y + dy * cellSize, cellSize, cellSize);
};

The code snippets demonstrate different functionalities: profile-summary-for-github focuses on fetching GitHub data, while snk is concerned with drawing a snake animation. profile-summary-for-github uses Java and interacts with the GitHub API, whereas snk utilizes JavaScript for canvas-based animations.

Pros of github-contributions

• Simpler implementation, focusing solely on fetching and displaying GitHub contribution data
• Provides a JavaScript API for easy integration into other projects
• Lightweight and has fewer dependencies

Cons of github-contributions

• Less visually appealing output compared to snk's animated SVG
• Limited customization options for the generated contribution graph
• Lacks the gamification aspect and interactivity of snk

Code Comparison

snk (Python):

def generate_snake(grid):
    snake = [(0, 0)]
    for _ in range(len(grid) * len(grid[0]) - 1):
        head = snake[-1]
        next_pos = get_next_position(grid, head, snake)
        snake.append(next_pos)
    return snake

github-contributions (JavaScript):

GitHubCalendar(".calendar", "your-username", {
  responsive: true,
  tooltips: true,
  global_stats: true,
  summary_text: "Summary of contributions"
});

While snk focuses on generating an animated snake path through the contribution grid, github-contributions provides a more straightforward approach to displaying the contribution data. snk offers a more engaging and visually appealing result, while github-contributions is simpler to implement and integrate into existing projects.
