Hi HN!<p>I’ve been working on getstack.dev[1], a tool to help developers track GitHub open-source trends, tech adoption, and repository stacks — updated weekly.<p>About a month ago, I broke my leg. While stuck on the couch, I figured I’d put the downtime to good use and finally build a side project I’d been thinking about for a while. So I put together an MVP and decided to release it publicly to gather feedback.<p>I have always struggle to grasp how people are adopting technology and what's really hype or under the radar. As tech leader you also often want to know if your tech choices are the right one but it's hard to take a data driven solution. And as open-source lover I always want to know how my favorite projects are built.<p>All the data is pulled and refreshed weekly from GitHub, stored on ClickHouse [2] but you can directly check how I built it in the website [3]<p>[1] <a href="https://getstack.dev" rel="nofollow">https://getstack.dev</a><p>[2] <a href="https://getstack.dev/tech/clickhouse" rel="nofollow">https://getstack.dev/tech/clickhouse</a><p>[3] <a href="https://getstack.dev/specfy/getstack" rel="nofollow">https://getstack.dev/specfy/getstack</a>
I feel like the way you present "trends" like on here: <a href="https://getstack.dev/category/language" rel="nofollow">https://getstack.dev/category/language</a><p>...is less than useful, because (roughly) no one deletes old repos and code, so everything will always be trending "up."<p>I'd be more interested in a stat that perhaps considered "number of <i>active</i> repos that have this language, or, this language's share of representation among repos with activeness in the last month. With some reasonable definition of "active," of course.
