Show HN: EmergingRepos – finding repos that are just starting to get momentum

2•andrewfromx•1h ago
Hi HN,

  I’m working on an idea called EmergingRepos (working name) a site for finding repos that are just starting to get momentum. The kind of repo I’m interested in is not brand new with 0 stars and not already famous. The sweet spot is something like:

  - small star count

  - small fork count

  - recent commits

  - more than one contributor
The idea is that this could be a win-win. Maintainers get thoughtful early attention, and readers get to discover repos where they can jump in, make a PR and get that joining an active team feel. i.e. the days of just making your own new repo and trying to get it going might be over. There’s just too many! Here are a few examples:

https://github.com/Integral-Healthcare/robin-ai-reviewer

Stats: 62 stars, 4 forks, 4 contributors

https://github.com/cpulvermacher/lgtm

Stats: 28 stars, 11 forks, 4 contributors

https://github.com/yoda-digital/mcp-gitlab-server

Stats: 48 stars, 19 forks, 4 contributors

https://github.com/tmseidel/ai-git-bot

Stats: 37 stars, 6 forks, 3 contributors

https://github.com/holgerleichsenring/agent-smith

Stats: 14 stars, 3 forks, 3 contributors

https://github.com/wshm-dev/wshm

Stats: 39 stars, 4 forks, 2 contributors

https://github.com/jonit-dev/night-watch-cli

Stats: 42 stars, 4 forks, 2 contributors

What do you think of the idea? Is this good data you don’t see anywhere else?

Thanks!

Pretty cool idea, it could act like something similar to product hunt - for repo discovery. One use case could be to follow what new repos, projects are being created for language 'x' and gaining momentum.

yeah totally. product hunt for repos is perfect way to describe it. Maybe that’s the name. Repohunt.dev ?
