Get it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;awesome-star-spy&#x2F;bbdnhdniecjhlhkenkcgilbpcacjhlap" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;awesome-star-spy&#x2F;b...</a><p>A week ago I was browsing this list of zsh plugins <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;unixorn&#x2F;awesome-zsh-plugins" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;unixorn&#x2F;awesome-zsh-plugins</a> and I wondered if there was a way to quickly find the best and hottest without visiting each repo&#x27;s page. I found none, so I&#x27;ve built it myself.<p>It&#x27;s a Chrome plugin that uses GitHub API to fetch metadata for each repo it finds on the page and then it shows the results right next to each link. It&#x27;s opensource and you can find the code here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alexpyzhianov&#x2F;awesome-star-spy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;alexpyzhianov&#x2F;awesome-star-spy</a><p>I&#x27;d be delighted if someone else finds it useful :) Any feedback is welcome
