Thanks for the feedback, guys. I added a bit of code that displays the GitHub links when you hover over each startup. I'm just waiting for the database to finish updating, then I'll push the changes.


Ok, changes are up.


Hmm, my brief digging into demand analytics didn't yield much. How did they end up at the top of the list? Could be nice to see how the score was created (e.g., list of repos and followers)


We search for a GitHub account that matches the startup name and a GitHub account for each LinkedIn username of the startup's team members. So, to use demand analytics as an example, we found these GitHub accounts:

https://github.com/josscrowcroft https://github.com/usethekey

I'll update the site so that it links to the GitHub accounts for each startup.


By the way, thanks to Academia.edu for hosting a great hack night every other Tuesday. Their beer and pizza helped make this possible. :-)


Cool hack. Have you considered linking to the startup's Github page or the pages of the developers?


Great idea, I'll add that in as soon as I can. Keep an eye out for the update.
