myGeeKy

What it does

One profile. Your whole field.

Your CV, repos, ORCID/OpenAlex and Google Scholar papers power everything, so it's matched to your research, not a generic popularity list.

👥

People worth following

Researchers who share your work and are likely to follow you back, plus domain experts who rarely follow anyone. Celebrities, mass-followers and dormant accounts are skipped.

It learns what you're into NEW

Every click, follow, star and fork tunes every list, and 🔭 20% always stays open for new territory, so you never end up in a bubble.

Private thank-yous

Thank someone, say you learned from their work or used their tool. Sealed so only they can read it, and no reply is ever expected. 🤝 "Let's collaborate" only shows up if you both choose it.

How it learns

See what myGeeKy knows about you

The Model tab draws it as a living map: you in the middle, your research field around you, what you've been into lately pulsing further out, and today's new territory on the edge.

Clicks teach it a little, stars and forks more, follows the most
Interests fade with a 30-day half-life, so it follows you as you change
A separate model learns who follows you back

Keywords NEW

Keywords that mean something

Add "AI" and myGeeKy also looks for LLMs, deep learning and AI agents. Add "GWAS" and it brings in genomics and statistical genetics. A small model learns what goes together from GitHub's open data.

● Green: it knows

Keywords in the dictionary bring their whole meaning to People, Repos, Research and News, each related idea weighted by how closely it goes with yours.

● Red: not yet

Your own words still work, as plain words. They're passed on, through your beacon or with one click, so the next dictionary learns them.

🔁 It keeps learning

A new dictionary reaches everyone by itself, at most once a week. No server, nothing hidden: the model is a few hundred lines you can read.

Signals

Gratitude, not small talk

🙏📚⭐👀🤝

A quiet way to tell someone their work mattered to you: no server, no text, nothing to moderate, and nothing to answer.

Private: each signal is encrypted so only its recipient can read it. Nobody can see who you signalled, or who didn't answer.
No reply needed: every signal says so, and you never see "unanswered"
🤝 only if you both want it: "let's collaborate" stays hidden until it's mutual
Courteous by design: once a month per person, a few new people a week, a "not taking signals" switch, mute and block

Privacy & trust

Suggest-only, by design

There is no follow, star or fork code in myGeeKy at all. And it uses two GitHub tokens with very different powers. Setup checks what each can actually do, and refuses one that doesn't fit its job.

🔍 Token 1 · read-only

Reads public profiles, repos and followers.

Repositories: Public repositories
Permissions: Followers: Read-only
Refused if: it can write to any repo, can follow people, or is your Signals token

✍️ Token 2 · Signals (optional)

Writes your mygeeky-beacon repo, and nothing else.

Repositories: Only mygeeky-beacon
Permissions: Contents: Read and write
Refused if: it can't write to the beacon, or is token 1 again

🔑 Keyring only

Tokens live in your OS keyring (Credential Locker, Keychain, Secret Service), never in a file, never logged.

🏠 Your data stays yours

No server, no account, no telemetry. Sync, if you want it, goes to a private GitHub repo you own.

📖 Open source

MIT-licensed and on GitHub, with tests. Read exactly what it does, and change it if you like.
