Ask HN: Is GitHub's #1 repo fake? build-your-own-x 491K stars

2•throwawaysoso•8h ago
GitHub's #1 most starred repo is build-your-own-x [1] with 491K stars. That's twice the starts of React or Linux or Python. Yet, Yet I almost never hear about it on HN or anywhere else. Even the few HN posts about it are very suspicious. A post with 800 points usually has over 400 comments that go very deep, but now look at the build-your-own-x's hn submission [2]. It has 867 points, 64 comments, barely a discussion.

Btw, it's S2022 Backed by YC.
