If I am guessing correctly, this is hitting the StackOverflow API and grabbing just the code bits of the answers? The SO upvotes seem to match the star count.

Ex:

1. https://justshowmethecode.com/code-example/ruby-on-rails/1k9...

2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2369744/rails-postgres-d...

Yes, you are right. Stackoverflow is one of its data source.

Could you link back to stackoverflow, maybe by adding a "source" link on the bottom? Thank you.

And, if you've not read yet, please read this thread https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/253618/if-i-use-so-... - a link is not sufficient, you also need to state that the code comes from Stack Exchange, and display the author's name (with a link to his profile)

You must[1]: A) clearly indicate that it comes from the Stack Exchange Network, and give credit to the author by B) linking to the original answer/question, C) clearly indicating the author(s)' username, and D) providing link(s) to their profile page(s).
