Products that do what Osscar – Measuring open-source growth beyond GitHub stars does
OSSCAR is a quarterly ranking of the fastest-growing open-source GitHub organizations. It's a joint project between Supabase and >commit, a VC focused on open-source. A few notes about the methodology: we focus on organization accounts (excluding personal accounts and forks), split them into two divisions by starting star count so smaller and larger ecosystems are evaluated among peers, measure growth across three signals (GitHub stars, contributors, and package downloads from npm, PyPI, and Cargo), normalize each signal within its division using a log–minmax transform, and combine the…

Since everyone seems to be making a github application, I thought I'd share mine. It's an aggregated view of all of a given person's github projects, as well as easyish lookups for linkedin/stackoverflow/hackernews. It attempts to determine both productivity (how much code did this person write?) as well as impact (did anyone care?) I'd love any feedback, but go easy on the number of simultaneous searches as I'm trying to play nice by github's api limits. check it -- http://www.gitalytics.com

Over five years ago, I started publishing the top 20 trending open-source startups every quarter, based on their relative GitHub star growth — the ROSS Index. It has become quite handy for 60K+ developers, founders, and other OSS fans who have visited it to date. To make it even more convenient, we have just open-sourced its full dataset for 22 past quarters, including the fresh list for Q3 2025, so everyone can play with it — for instance, analyze what happened with startups from the first quarters. Given that in the very first index issue (Q2 2020), 5 out of 20 early-stage startups (n8n,…

About 6 years ago I wrote a blog post [0] with some ideas on how to help popular open source maintainers deal with all the noise on Github. Patted myself in the back and never did anything about it :) There's recently been a lot more discussion around this due to AI, so I've built a simple tool called "Slop Meter" [1]. It gives maintainers a quick snapshot of the user's history in open source: 1) Do they just open issues and expect you to do everything, or will they put in the work to fix the problems and open a PR? What's the issues : PR ratio? 2) If they do contribute, what percentage of…
