I'm fed up with all the GitHub trending ranking websites and mailing lists: cool-looking charts showing stars over the last year, "engagement" metrics based on someone else's rules, and summaries of readmes that seem advertisements.
What if I'm not interested in the top-rated repo about NodeJS if I'm into Go development? And if I want to learn Rust, starting from basic tutorials, not getting lost in the repo of a new OS written with it? I'm sure you feel the pain: after a while, days? a week? You forget about that cool trending website, or you just stop reading the mailing list.
This is the deal: spin up an agent, feed it with your interest, in your words, what you'd like to see (and what you don't), that explores the GH landscape every day, select a few projects that you haven't seen before, looking at the code (not only readmes), to the community engagement, to the popularity (or not, you say), to the presence of tests or whatever.
Put everything, 3-5 repos, in a weekly mail that will be delivered when you like, highlighting what it is, what's good, and what's not.
And here the best part: engage with the mail, from time to time, click on a link you like, the agent keeps track of it and models its future evaluations. Your interest changes over time, so does the agent.
And there is much more: for example, you'll be automatically unsubscribed if you do not show your interest in say 2/3 months, recall an AI agent is running only for you.
Give it a try. If you bother to use your primary email, create an alias, that's fine.
I'm building it, and I'd love your feedback!
