I wouldn't say I'm married to it. I actually like the Facebook timeline, and it is what inspired this project. I wondered what my github feed would look like in a timeline/filterable form. So I built it.

The main goal is to be able to take anyone's public github profile and assess what they have done in the open source world. For example, a job candidate who gives sends along their profile. Right now their public github profile page doesn't do a great job distilling that information.
