StarWars + Git logs = StarLogs

Check out this one: <a href="http://starlogs.net/#s-t-a-r-w-a-r-s/episode-iv" rel="nofollow">http://starlogs.net/#s-t-a-r-w-a-r-s/episode-iv</a>

This is very cool. I also just noticed a neat quirk - if you switch tabs (I'm on chrome) the animations pause but the timer to show the text keeps ticking. So all the text bunches up at the bottom until you switch back at which point the text blob starts to fade out all together.<p>The page visibility api: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-page-visibility-20110602/" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-page-visibility-20110602/</a> might be able to help with that.

Neat, but shouldn't it show the commits first to last?

Awesome. But, shouldn't it be going from first commit to latest commit? Like telling the story of the project.<p>Edit: Found the repo[0] in the page source.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/artemave/StarLogs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/artemave/StarLogs</a>

From now, every time I create a new repo, the first commit message is going to be "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".

I wonder which open-source project has the funniest commit messages for this.<p>The ones from commit logs from last night seem to work quite well: <a href="http://starlogs.net/#astanway/Commit-Logs-From-Last-Night" rel="nofollow">http://starlogs.net/#astanway/Commit-Logs-From-Last-Night</a> (NSFW)

I was hoping I could bung in any url and see the text scrolling, like a BBC.co.uk news item, or something. Was looking forward to reading the news in that format. Especially with the music. It kinda seemed appropriate for a certain huge UK story...

Great!!! Now I can convince my boss to change from svn to git! :D

Sadly it sort of bugs out when the commit messages are really long: <a href="http://starlogs.net/#torvalds/linux" rel="nofollow">http://starlogs.net/#torvalds/linux</a>

They don't seem to actually get any smaller (faux perspective) as they scroll up, they just scroll up and fade out... :/

This is the whole reason why I went into computer science. I watched all of my repos twice today, then I started picking repos at random. Even my non-techie "I can't work an Apple Magic Pad" big-boobed wife thinks it's super cool. Well done!!

There's small problem on how browsers respond, when we change the hash#parameter in the URL and hit ENTER in the sites where DOM is manipulated using AJAX depending on hash-value, like in this site. It doesn't get updated until we hit ENTER for second time in Chrome, reload in Firefox.<p>I also have a similar site that manipulates DOM depending on hash value. If you are on instamovi.com/#bourne with bourne movies listed...and you change it to instamovi.com/#bond and hit ENTER, there's no change in the DOM. You have to hit ENTER again, then the movie listing changes to Bond movies.<p>Similar thing happens here on starlogs.net/#repo1 to starlogs.net/#repo2<p>Any idea how to fix this?

This is awesome! Is the entry box for the repo supposed to go away once it finds it? It stayed there, covering the text in Chrome 27 dev on Arch... It would be cool if it disappeared.

My coworker instantly after me showing him this -&#62; him: quick lets turn our private repos public to use with this -&#62; me: LOL -&#62; boss: frown

Great idea and what a fun way to read through commit messages<p><a href="http://starlogs.net/#discourse/discourse" rel="nofollow">http://starlogs.net/#discourse/discourse</a><p>Also fun :)

3-2-1 Disney take down notice.

I love the idea, but I'd have preferred a more subtle approach, e.g. using only music with a free license or explicit permission by the author. Although I don't consider George Lucas to be a troll, I'm afraid that in general, this attitude (just use the music and see what happens) is an invitation for copyright trolls.

Surprisingly funny. :) I wish the url changed so one could link someone. Solved now, but it should be added.

Didn't realize my sound was off. Way cooler with the sound on :)

I don't like how it joins the summary line and the explanatory text with just a space. I'd recommend preserving blank lines in the commit message as line breaks.

Tried giving it both my Github user name as well as the URL to my Github profile. It "couldn't find the repo" in both cases. :/

This is hilarious, and would probably get hugely popular if you let people put custom text in there and then link to it.

This would be a great way to read headings from an RSS feed!<p>Wonder if the <i>feedly</i> guys would consider it as a hidden view?

AWESOME. I am surprised that I found this funny, though it doesn't seem to work with user url, does it?

... makes coding that much more epic.

Hahaha, awesome! Made me laugh out loud, alone, in my home office! :)

It would be great if this worked on private repos.

One of the best GitHub-related apps, honestly

I was so excited when the music began!!!

Most awesomest thing of the day.

This is my new favorite website.

I want to read HN this way :-|

You made my year. :D

I literally fell from the chair due to laughter. Brilliant.

support for private repos would be nice.

A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

please do this for basecamp!!!!!!!

Love it. :)

awesome
