Embed your public commits, pull requests, releases, and stars as a live activity feed in 90 seconds. Paste your username, no code.
Built for developer portfolios
Live demo, not a screenshot. Type a GitHub handle, pick a layout, and ship the same widget to your portfolio.
From GitHub to your site
Poper pulls your public GitHub feed and renders it inline on your website, fully branded to match your design. No API keys, no manual updates.
Poper widget liveMockups for illustration. Pull your real GitHub feed and embed in 90 seconds.
How to use it
Three steps. Under two minutes. No GitHub login, no OAuth, no code.
Type an individual GitHub profile URL or username. Poper instantly previews that developer's public activity feed: commits, pull requests, releases, and stars.
Choose the default native GitHub-style activity layout, then brand it. Tune the theme preset, fonts, accent colors, header, and post styling to match your portfolio or project site.
Paste the one-line script tag into your portfolio, docs site, or project page. Works on Next.js, Astro, Hugo, Webflow, Framer, WordPress, Ghost, Notion Sites, and supported HTML setup.
Works everywhere
Drop-in install on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Ghost, and any HTML-friendly stack. No build step, no developer needed.
Plus 250+ other platforms via the embed snippet. If your site can render a <script> tag, it can render the GitHub Activity Widget: Embed Commits, PRs and Releases on Any Site.
Six things that matter when you embed GitHub on a developer portfolio, not 30 features no one uses.
Reads your public GitHub events: pushes, pull requests, opened issues, releases, forks, and stars. Each one renders as a row in a single themable activity feed that updates on its own. No backend to maintain, no cron job, no late-night copy edits when you ship.
Every row carries the matching GitHub event-type icon, the repo link, and the commit message detail, styled to mirror GitHub's own activity UI. The contribution-history look your visitors already recognize, on your own domain.
Each push, PR, and release links straight to the repository on GitHub, and starred-repo events show up in the same feed so visitors see what you are following.
Embed activity from one public GitHub profile at a time. Built for developer portfolios, maintainer pages, and project sites that need a clear individual source.
The embed loads through the Poper snippet. Validate layout and performance on your own page after embedding.
Tagged releases show up as release events in the activity feed alongside your commits and merged PRs. Drop the widget next to your product copy so visitors always see that you are still shipping.
Use cases
Four buyer types who get the most lift from embedding GitHub Activity Widget: Embed Commits, PRs and Releases on Any Site on their site.
Add a live activity feed to your project homepage so visitors immediately see the repo is healthy and well-maintained. A steady stream of recent commits and releases is the strongest organic signal that your project is worth depending on.
Turn your GitHub profile into a live proof-of-work block on your portfolio. Recruiters and clients see exactly what you have shipped recently, not what you listed in a static bio. The fastest way to make hire me into something they can verify in one scroll.
Show a founder or lead developer's public GitHub activity on a product, changelog, or build-in-public page. Visitors see that a real person is actively shipping without relying on organization-wide data.
Point at your project's repository and let tagged releases flow into the feed alongside merged PRs and commits. Drop the widget next to your product copy so visitors and customers always see that the latest version just shipped.

GitHub publishes a public activity stream for individual profiles: pushes (commits), pull requests, opened issues, releases, forks, and stars. That stream is exactly what visitors to a developer's portfolio want to verify, because it answers the only question that matters on a hire-me page: is this person actually shipping right now? The Poper GitHub Activity widget reads that public activity for the individual username you enter and renders it as a clean feed on your own site. The key word is live. A screenshot of your GitHub profile is stale within a week and lies by omission the moment you push again. An embedded activity feed refreshes on its own, so the version a recruiter sees on Tuesday is not the version from last month. Because the widget only needs public profile activity, there is no GitHub login, no OAuth, and no API key to manage: you paste a username and the feed appears. That keeps setup to one field and means the widget never has access to anything you have not already made public on github.com.

Since 2020 the build-in-public movement has fundamentally changed how developers market themselves. Indie hackers ship in the open, livestream their commits, and use GitHub Sponsors to fund their work directly from the audience that watches them code. GitHub Sponsors paid out over $40 million to maintainers since launch, and the program now supports 100+ countries. A live activity widget on your personal site is the highest-leverage marketing asset for this audience: it pairs perfectly with a Sponsor button, a newsletter signup, and a Bento or Linktree-style hub. The signal is honest (it is your real commits, not a curated highlight reel), updates without your effort, and feels authentic in a way that AI-generated landing copy cannot. For maintainers raising sponsorship, an embedded activity feed showing a steady run of recent commits and releases is the closest thing to a momentum statement that open source has.
GitHub profile READMEs (introduced in 2020 as the README in a special repo named after your username) made every developer their own publisher. Today profile READMEs contain stats cards, language graphs, contribution streaks, GitHub Sponsors badges, and even auto-generated blog post summaries. The limitation: profile READMEs only render on github.com and only support static images via shields.io or vercel-hosted SVG endpoints. A widget on your own personal site (.dev domain, GitHub Pages, or any static host) breaks past those limits. You get a live activity feed that updates on its own, custom layouts, and theming beyond color so the feed matches your design system. The dev portfolio market has matured: tools like brittanychiang.com, leerob.io, and fly.io's engineering page set the bar, and they all share the same pattern of live GitHub data integrated directly into the portfolio rather than as an external link.

A GitHub activity widget is an embeddable script that displays an individual developer's public GitHub activity (commits, pull requests, opened issues, releases, forks, and stars) on your website as a live, brand-themable activity feed that refreshes automatically.
