This is why it is important to cross reference the stars with the state of the project. What if 90% of the starring occurred within the last week? If this is so, it would indicate many felt this repository provided value based on 2/3 of the repos history.
It is important to note that I am not discrediting your opinion, what I'm trying to say is, the numbers might show many do not share in your opinion. Also, calling this a "service" doesn't make much sense, since I don't think the repo maintainer is being paid to provide a specific value that benefits you.
The README pretty much invites you to submit a template with no real barrier to submission. Your "Awesome" may well be different than many others "Awesome".
- kkautuk 6y agoHey, I am the creator of the repo, I just found this thread. I agree with all the points mentioned above. Right now the repo is not in its best curated state and also that I am accepting duplicate submission. I too think that there needs to be a proper filter. Just bear with me for a couple of days, I have already planned to change the format and the current state of the repo, it's just that I am kind of preoccupied with some work. It's also worth noting that people are actually finding some inspiration for their own readme, so I feel it's working out positively for some. I created this repo for myself and did not expect it to blow up like this. Thanks for the valuable suggestions though, do let me know what else could be done to improve it :D
