Show IH: I made an app that collects funny commit messages 😂

Hey IH!
Commits.lol is a small service that collects funny commit messages from Github.
As makers, we all have our moments. Whether it be joy (seeing your app live), frustration (fixing a bug in production) or anything else!
I wanted to build something to capture that emotion, and I figured what better way to do that than by looking at commit messages!
Tell me what you think!

How we got our first paying user within a week of adding payments
I made a chrome extension to stop me from shopping on Amazon. What do you think?
lol, you've made me laugh so it works!
Love the footer btw.
Haha thanks!
Glad you like it!
Nice one. I wanted to build something like that and never came up with something that made sense. You did it and it looks pretty awesome!
„Fix this f#%@ing f#%@ for f#%@s sake“
Thanks so much! Glad you like it.
Yea it's got some crazy commits in there. My current favorite is "Oopsie v2" lol
Cute!
Thanks! 🙌
Love it, this is hilarious.
Clean layout, funky style, it's all good.
Haha awesome! Glad you like it!
This is hilarious and nice front-end. How did you make the nice animations to rotate the emojis, etc.?
Thanks!
So I just used some CSS transforms on the emojis. On hover, I set each emoji to rotate at different angles.
Nice Website!
Thanks @Jorsoi !
Love the site design. It's really fun and unique, such a nice change from all the other cookie cutter sites you see these days. 👏👏👏
Hey @afkmango thanks so much! 🙌 Yea I definitely wanted to go for a minimal, fresh look.
Glad it's working out lol
Glad you don't have access to my private repos 🧐
lol 😂
Haha awesome @tunedmystic! This def made me lol. Glad lots of my repos are private 🙈
Appreciate it @Cous ! Glad you like it 🙌
Oh my. So many "whoops remove token" commits here. I wonder if Github has any automatic detection of if you mistakenly commit your token? Because I bet there are many bots sniffing for those tokens 😄
Note: So if you commit and push your token, there's a big chance it got into wrong hands. So you should immediately invalidate the token, not just force-push-remove the commit.
Love the site though, great idea!
Hey Thanks! Appreciate it!
Not sure that Github has that kind of auto-detect functionality for tokens though - would be a pretty handy feature!
This is awesome.
Glad you like it! 🙌
Oh dear 😂 Don't look at our repos will you. Rich pickings I suspect.
Man I hate writing commit messages.
Blah, stuff, some things, I made changes - all perfectly acceptable!
totally!
I think you're just fetching the bad ones lol
Hehe mostly the ones that make you "LOL"
