Hi, thanks for maintaining this project — it's widely used and very well designed.

While exploring GitHub stats implementations, I noticed a repository that appears to be
substantially derived from this project:

https://github.com/ishandutta2007/beautiful-github-homepage

Observations:

  1. Core Algorithm - calculateRank.js appears identical, including:

    • Same mathematical formulas (exponential_cdf, log_normal_cdf)
    • Identical weight coefficients
    • Same rank level system
  2. Type Definitions - TypeScript interfaces in src/cards/types.d.ts
    and src/fetchers/types.d.ts match exactly

  3. Project Architecture - Largely mirrors this repository:

    • Similar directory structure (src/cards, src/fetchers, src/common)
    • Renamed but functionally equivalent files (e.g., repo.js → repo-card.js)
    • Identical theme configurations
  4. License Concern ⚠️

    • Original repo has: Copyright (c) 2020 Anurag Hazra
    • Other repo has: Copyright (c) 2020 Ishan
    • MIT license requires attribution preservation

The question:

Rather than assuming intent, I wanted to ask: Are you aware of this repository?
And if so, is the copyright notice removal something you're concerned about from a
licensing perspective?

If this is indeed derived work, would you want the original attribution
restored to comply with MIT license requirements?

Thanks for your consideration.
