Curated external tools · Builder profiles and jobs
Start with the Peerlist README Badge if you want a Peerlist link on a GitHub profile. It is MIT-licensed and free, and it pastes in as Markdown. The other three are third-party projects with older code or unclear reuse terms. The profile action was last changed in December 2021, and the launch and search tools depend on Peerlist's page layout or on data pulled from the site, so expect them to break. [1] [2] [3]
Add Omnitwine as a preferred source on Google| Tool | What it does | Price (what's free) | Best for | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peerlist README Badge | Makes a Markdown badge for your Peerlist profile, in five styles | Free; MIT-licensed code | GitHub users who want a Peerlist link on their profile README | No follower-count badge; depends on a Peerlist-hosted endpoint[1] |
| Peerlist Profile Action | Builds a profile overview image on a schedule and commits it to your README repo | Free; MIT-licensed; uses your own GitHub Actions minutes | Developers who want a self-updating profile image | Last code push December 2021; the image may not match the current profile page[2] |
| Peerlist Launchpad Sorter | Sorts the Launchpad week page by votes and shows your project's rank | Free; no paid tier shown | Makers following a launch week | Manual install; no license; written for Launchpad 2025[3] |
| Peerlist Explore | Answers plain-English questions about Peerlist projects pulled from the site, run locally | Code is free; you pay for a MySQL database and a Gemini API key | Developers who want to search Peerlist projects on their own machine | Local setup only; data pulled from the site; no license; 1 star[4] |
Peerlist README Badge generates a Markdown badge for your Peerlist profile, in five styles chosen with a URL parameter. The code is MIT-licensed, the repo has 65 stars and 27 forks, and its last code push was in February 2024. Use it if you show your work on GitHub and want a Peerlist profile link there too. [1]
The catch is the follower count. The repo says a follower-count badge is blocked on a public API, so the badge shows no follower number. It also depends on a Peerlist-hosted endpoint, so if that address changes, the badge breaks. Skip it if a follower count is the reason you want a badge. [1]
Peerlist Profile Action builds a profile overview image on a schedule and commits it to a README repository. The example runs daily. It is MIT-licensed and uses your own GitHub Actions minutes. The last code push was 18 December 2021, so the image may no longer match Peerlist's current profile page. Run it once on a test repository before you point it at your real README. [2]
The example workflow installs headless Chrome, which suggests the action captures the public profile page. Whatever the page shows, including fields that are public by default, ends up in the image and in your repository's history. Check those fields before the first run. [2]
Peerlist Launchpad Sorter sorts the Launchpad week page by votes and shows where your project ranks. Click Organize Projects on the week page. It is free, and the repo shows no paid tier. It is not in the Chrome Web Store, so you install it by hand: download the ZIP, turn on Developer mode, and load it unpacked. The repo has 2 stars and no license, so the reuse terms of the code are unclear. [3]
The README is written for Launchpad 2025, and the tool reads the page layout. A Launchpad redesign will break it. Its sort uses votes alone, but Peerlist's ranking also counts comments, views and link visits, so treat the sorted order as a partial view of where you stand. [3]
Peerlist Explore is a Streamlit app that answers plain-English questions about Peerlist projects pulled from the site. It runs only on your own machine. You need a MySQL database and a Gemini API key, and their prices depend on your providers, so budget for both before you start. The repo has 1 star, no license, and a README with errors, including a malformed environment example. [4]
The data is pulled from Peerlist's pages. Pulling data this way can break the site's terms, and it stops working when the site changes its layout. Use the tool for your own study only, and do not republish what it collects. [4]
