Overgrowth turns GitHub history into a living, poetic tree
Overgrowth generates a unique tree from a GitHub username, visualizing commit history, languages, stars, and late-night pushes. The tree includes a poem read aloud by a character, and a vs mode compares two developers. Built with Next.js and Canvas 2D, it maps behavior like abandoned repos to bare branches and stars to blossoms.
