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!
