After the recent HN discussion[1] about what's wrong with GitHub's "Watch" feature, I was spurred to finish a pet project I put about 8 hours into a month ago. HubStar[2] is the missing "star" feature for GitHub repositories. The idea is you log into the site using GitHub's OAuth, download a browser extension (currently only Chrome is available), and you can now star repositories directly from their GitHub pages. The links are stored remotely on the HubStar site for later searching. Prior to this I was using the GitMarks Chrome plugin, but my main problem with it was that it only showed me…

Hey friends! We have built an app for getting insights about your favorite GitHub community using large language models.

When I came across a study that traced 4.5 million fake GitHub stars, it confirmed a suspicion I’d had for a while: stars are noisy. The issue is they’re visible, they’re persuasive, and they still shape hiring decisions, VC term sheets, and dependency choices—but they say very little about actual quality. I wrote StarGuard to put that number in perspective based on my own methodology inspired with what they did and to fold a broader supply-chain check into one command-line run. It starts with the simplest raw input: every starred_at timestamp GitHub will give. It applies a…
