GitHub metrics that matter in open source, a data-driven analysis
- changxu 6y agoMany companies are commercializing open source, but what metrics really matter? TL;DR - it’s not GitHub Stars We looked at all 134 oss companies founded since 2015 across their GitHub metrics to assess which are the most telling, from seed to growth (other channels next). Would love any feedback!
- verdverm 6y agoGitHub Discussions are out now. Will be interested to see how the combination of issues / discussions enhances the understanding. Have you included anything off of GitHub, like Slack/Gitter activity?
- changxu 6y agoGitHub discussions are a great idea! Thank you. We are building to include other channels (eg Slack/Gitter as you mentioned) and will look at them in future analyses.
