Ask HN: OSS maintainers, how are you dealing with GitHub hiding stars?

2 pointsby calebkaiserabout 5 years ago
It seems that GitHub has removed stars from its logged out view. I contribute to this OSS project (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cortexlabs&#x2F;cortex), and even though stars can seem kind of silly, I&#x27;ve heard from many organizations&#x2F;users that our star count was what lead them to initially dig deeper into the project before adopting us. Like most projects, we don&#x27;t have a particularly robust marketing operation—some of us write blog posts and speak at meetups—and so anything that impacts our discoverability is a big deal to us.<p>OSS contributors&#x2F;maintainers, are you being affected by this and how are you addressing it?
