StarHog – See who starred your open source project
Over the weekend, I built a small project to help open-source projects better understand who starred their projects. It helps you see the number of stars per day, week, month etc so you can monitor the health and the general trend as well. Lastly, it lets you fetch their public contact info, if you wish to do so. I initally built it as a Python script but after a few friends said they had the same problem, I decided to make it into a website. Would love to hear what you think!

In plain words
StarHog is a tool for open-source project maintainers to track and analyze who has starred their repositories. It displays star counts broken down by day, week, and month to help monitor project health and growth trends over time. The tool also allows users to retrieve public contact information from those who starred their projects, making it easier to reach out to interested users or contributors.

CLI that spots fake GitHub stars, risky dependencies and licence traps2025 · github.com · ▲122When 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…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
