While it's not possible to see Who has downloaded/used our repos from NPM or Hex.pm we can establish a reasonable proxy simply by seeing Who has starred our various repos and then extracting their Company info from their GitHub profile. This is a task I've been meaning to do for years and would really like to have done.

It may appear to be a "vanity metric" on the surface, but I intend to use it on our Website as a "Social Proof".

Todo

• Define the schema for profile Feat: Create (GitHub) profile schema to store public profile data #85
• Use both scraping and the GitHub API to create a database of the people who have starred, watched or contributed to our repos on GitHub List repository contributors #20
• Once the profile data for all the people ("users") has been populated into the DB,
  we can easily select the company field and see the list of companies those people work for.
