Open source project so not quite a "site": submitted goofys (https://github.com/kahing/goofys/ https://github.com/kahing/goofys/) 644 days ago and had 40 upvotes on HN, and from what I recall I had a couple hundred stars on github right after. Now I am approaching 900 stars, a niche community of users, and occasional drive-by contributions. Compare to catfs (https://github.com/kahing/catfs/ https://github.com/kahing/catfs/) which I recently posted but did not make to front page, and right now it's at 14 stars. I would say both projects have similar audiences comparable in complexity, which would mean front page on HN gave goofys a 20x or so boost in terms of github stars. Note that the first time I posted goofys it did not make it to front page. @dang emailed me to re-post it and the second time it was boosted to front page.
