Extensions

• Mock HTTP connection: http://wiremock.org/
• Persist the data a) to build some cache and avoid GitHub overload and b) to play around a little with a persistence unit.
• Make a standalone webserver application. Use Spring Boot, for instance. Is JHipster an option for this? Probably not because I dont know Angular...
• Build a RESTful HTTP interface on top. E.g., GET /statistics, GET /statistics/language, ... seem reasonable.
• On top of that a simple and focused GUI/Frontend would be cool. Enter a language name and receive the result in a beautifully nice way.

Done

• Provide way to log in via the GitHub API, i.e., receive more than 5 repo statistics.
  • See developer.github.com/v3/oauth_authorizations
  • For OAuth, use this library: https://github.com/Kobee1203/scribe-java

More new stuff

• nice html-templates: http://ink.sapo.pt/, http://purecss.io/
• learn jquery: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-jquery
• tryout purecss with jquery for example on any public api: http://plnkr.co/
• platform as a service: https://www.heroku.com/home
• when it comes to a search index: elastic search
