Stars aren’t payment. If that is the primary currency for your development I am curious what happens when there are no new stars? Do you kill the repo?
- xgenecloud 6y agoStars are a way to bookmark and discover repos in the open source world. No stars doesn't mean no development - I am not denying that and appreciate your concern on how much vanity is in it. (I guess it is better than vanity of likes for a photo on instagram).
