Rising GitHub repos, before they trend.
We watch GitHub and Hacker News for repos climbing faster than normal, and alert you only about your topics.
Most of the sky is noise.
In the last 30 days, 579 new repositories passed 300 stars and 171 passed 1,000. GitHub Trending shows you what is already big. Nobody tells you what is about to be.
Then the sweep.
Your scroll moves the beam. Everything it passes goes dark, except the repos gaining stars faster than their size and age would predict.

How a star gets lit.
- Velocity
- Stars in the last 24 hours and 7 days, weighed against the repo's size and age. A week-old repo gaining 400 stars matters more than a giant gaining the same.
- Acceleration
- This week against the average of the four before it. Steady repos stay dark.
- Cross-signal
- A boost when the repo reaches the Hacker News front page. This week, 22 repos were linked from stories over 80 points.
- Star farms
- Repos that collect stars from brand-new or empty accounts get dropped, not ranked.
