GitHub seems somewhat intentionally not built for discovery. Which is fine, but I'll give some examples anyway:
Here's the organization I manage:
https://github.com/firebase https://github.com/firebase
There is so little customization allowed on that page. It's very hard for me to tell a curious developer what's new or exciting unless I want to constantly adjust pinned repos.
Now visit this page on a laptop monitor:
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk
Notice that you're immediately presented with the folder structure and the README is "below the fold". So the developer's own words about the project are hidden unless you scroll for them. A lot of newbies get really thrown by this, they start clicking blindly into the code without knowing there are instructions below.
All that said: I love GitHub. I spent 50%+ of my day on GitHub and manage 100+ repos. But it's not all things.
