Around the end of 2024, I went to https://skyline.github.com to print my Github Skyline; I already had one for 2023, and I wanted to grow my collection. Lo and behold, the app is offline.
At the time, there were some alternatives, but I didn't like their style compared to the original skyline. Github had also recently come out with a CLI version. My main gripe was that I didn't want to install the Github CLI just to get my skyline. I liked the idea of being able to view/print my skyline from wherever as long as I had a browser.
And so here we are!
