Hover cards surface contributor details the moment you need them. Move your cursor over any contributor avatar or username and a card appears within 500ms, showing their stats inline so you never have to navigate away to get context.
Hover card displaying contributor stats on mouseover

​
Overview

Every contributor mention across the dashboard is interactive. The hover card pulls live data from the contributor’s GitHub profile and their activity within the repository, displaying it in a compact overlay anchored to the element you hovered.

​
Information Displayed

Each hover card shows:
  • Avatar and Username: GitHub profile picture and handle
  • Contribution Stats: Total PRs opened, commits merged, and code reviews submitted
  • Recent Activity: Date of the contributor’s last contribution
  • Primary Language: The programming language they use most in this repository
  • GitHub Link: Direct link to their GitHub profile
Example card output for a contributor: 
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ● @janedoe                          │
│   Jane Doe                          │
│                                     │

Where Hover Cards Appear

Hover cards are available on every contributor reference in the dashboard:
  • Contributor lists: The main contributors view on any repository page
  • PR activity feeds: Author and reviewer names in feed items
  • Lottery factor analysis: Contributor names in the risk breakdown table
  • Distribution charts: Labels on pie and bar chart segments
  • Any contributor mention: Username text anywhere in the UI
This means you can get a contributor’s full context without leaving the lottery factor view, the activity feed, or any other panel.

​
Interaction Model

ActionResult
Hover over avatar or usernameCard appears after 500ms
Click username in cardOpens GitHub profile in new tab
Move cursor awayCard dismisses
Click outside the cardCard dismisses
Press ESCCard closes immediately
The 500ms delay prevents cards from appearing during normal cursor movement. A card only shows when you pause on a contributor element.

​
Viewport Positioning

Cards position themselves to stay fully visible regardless of where the trigger element sits on screen. If a contributor appears near the right edge, the card opens to the left. Near the bottom, it opens upward. This keeps the card content readable without scrolling.

​
Usage Example

Navigate to any tracked repository and open the Contributors tab: 
https://contributor.info/{owner}/{repo}
For example, to explore contributors for openSauced/pizza-cli: 
https://contributor.info/openSauced/pizza-cli
Hover over any avatar in the contributor grid. After the 500ms delay, the card appears with that contributor’s stats for this specific repository. Click the GitHub link in the card to open their full profile. The same hover interaction works from the Activity tab feed: 
https://contributor.info/openSauced/pizza-cli/activity
Each feed item shows the PR author’s avatar. Hover it to see their stats without leaving the feed.

​
Use Cases

Reviewing unfamiliar contributors: When you see a username you don’t recognize in the activity feed, hover to see their contribution volume and recency before deciding whether to dig deeper. Comparing reviewer depth: Hover reviewers listed in PR feed items to compare their review counts and understand who is most active in code review. Quick profile access: Instead of opening a new tab and searching GitHub, use the card’s direct profile link to jump straight to the contributor’s GitHub page.
