Perhaps I’m in the minority but I use the star system almost like a bookmark. Is that not what it’s for? Is a star the equivalent of a “like”?

- fileeditview 6y agoNot sure what it is for but everyone I talked to uses it as bookmark system.. so you are not alone.. to the contrary.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 6y agoWhat are your browser bookmarks for?
- TeMPOraL 6y agoYeah, me too. Stars are for me just Github-scoped bookmarks.
- rhn_mk1 6y agoThe number of stars and forks indicate the interest in the repository to me. I'm not sure if I'm convinced this has worked as a bookmark for my repositories: no one ever removed a star from any of them, and no one ever returned with any feedback later. It could be a matter of a small sample size, or of people never actually coming back (which is the bookmark's use case).
