About GitHub Repo Fetch
From a 2020 bootcamp project to a modern GitHub discovery app.
Originally built in 2020 as a Hyperion Development Bootcamp project, GitHub Repo Fetch has been recovered, preserved and modernised in 2026. The goal was not to erase the original work, but to show how an older application can be understood, repaired and adapted to a current frontend stack.

Project journey
Preserve what worked. Understand the legacy code. Modernise the experience without pretending the project started today.
Original bootcamp build
Built during the Hyperion Development Bootcamp as a working GitHub repository search application.
Legacy recovery
The original project was recovered, repaired and preserved before any modernisation work began.
Responsive baseline
Fixed-width layouts and mobile overflow were corrected while keeping the original application working.
Portfolio repositioning
The project was reframed as a legacy-modernisation case study rather than presented as a newly built app.
UI and brand modernisation
The interface was rebuilt around the original charcoal and gold identity with a new logo, responsive navigation and clearer repository discovery flow.
Modernised application
The original idea now runs on a current React and Next.js foundation while preserving its history, API purpose and multi-framework story.

Technology
The modernisation keeps the project useful as evidence of working across framework generations rather than rebuilding every portfolio project with the same stack.
