On GitHub today, projects worth your star.
Ten lenses on the GitHub firehose: all-time champions, weekly & monthly surges, rising slopes, dark horses, underappreciated gems and the drama index — all measured, none fabricated.
This week’s fire
Data lands every ~6 hours; the page re-reads each minute. If a snapshot runs late, the dot turns red.
Top 100 by real star gain over seven days, measured from our own snapshots.
The same leaderboard, seen one step earlier
Same GitHub, one layer deeper. Find projects, move first, follow the real momentum — the boards turn star curves into three quick reads.
Find projects without drowning
Ten boards, ten filters: the all-time chart frames the field, weekly and monthly set the pace, dark horses flag what you have not heard of yet.
Watch the trend, not just the rank
Snapshots every 6 hours: dark horses before they break out, comebacks while they heal. Whoever sees first, moves first.
Follow real star curves, follow real momentum
Side hustles, product bets or plain inspiration — trends built from real star history beat whatever shouts loudest today.
Ten boards, ten readings.
Every board publishes its methodology and data source — verify it yourself.

Methodology & data notes
Why is my project missing?
The board only includes projects with more than 1000 lifetime stars that are not forks of another repository. Search indexing may lag by a few hours.
How is this different from official Trending?
Official Trending measures recent velocity; this board values accumulated heat — the evergreen assets of open source.
