Higher star count is a guarantee of more visibility, that doesn't mean anything quality-wise and it doesn't mean much momentum-wise.

  Curious if have any examples to back up your point? I've never seen a project with high start and low momentum, I don't mean dead projects ,obviously.

    >I've never seen a project with high start and low momentum, I don't mean dead projects ,obviously. "I've never seen this thing, except in this obvious and common case where it happens all the time, but other than that, literally never". Mate :/ In general, my first step in deciding whether projects are good is to google "<project name> review", and see what other developers and sysadmins have experienced with it. I have often found that a 5 stars system contains inadequate information density to provide me with guidance on the suitability of one project over another with respect to integrating it into my companies tech stack, although I appreciate that's a personal standpoint and that you may disagree.

    Ah yes, you'd like examples, with the exception of the largest class of examples. Well played.
