    I built SimRepo, a browser extension that adds a “Similar Repositories” panel directly into GitHub repo pages (for repos with 150+ stars). It's useful for discovering related projects while browsing. It's based on a vectorized model trained on GitHub star data. Repo: https://github.com/Mubelotix/SimRepo Chrome/Firefox support, no tracking, fully open source. Would love feedback on the recommendation quality or UX!

    I built this in 2018 as a school project to bulk delete GitHub repos. It got 25k views on Medium and ~10k users organically, then I basically ignored it for years.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
