By all early metrics, this project looks like it can become extremely popular and healthy. If you switch to the impact view in the following: https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=window%3A30&r=github%3Akatherinepeterson%2Freadme.so&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... And look at the impact chart at the bottom, it has all the signs of a healthy/popular project. A high number of contributors in Zone 3 indicates strong interest. A decent number of contributors in Zone 2, indicates high individual contributions to the project. And having no contributors in Zone 1 is the most important, as it means the work is being fairly distributed among Zone 2 contributors. Normally for a project to be this fresh (23 days), you would expect somebody in Zone 1, but there isn't any, which is a very strong indicator of popularity and an even distribution of work that should make it more viable in the long run. Note: Don't install my tool as the license in the docker image is out of date and needs to be updated. Edit: Any reason for the downvoting? I know it is my tool but it does show insights that is relevant to the repository.

I can't tell what region on the page you are referring to with Zone 1, 2, and 3. There are four quadrants and they're not numbered. I didn't downvote, but you could do this kind of analysis on any link to a github repo and I don't think people want it to become a habit.

  In the impact view, the zones are shown in the top left quadrant. I guess I could find a way to make it more obvious.

    Oh! Well, you need a way to link to the page with the impact tab open, since I never noticed there were tabs at all! It's still very unclear that the left quadrant is a mini-map of the other three quadrants. I recommend just graying out the top left and writing "Zone 1 - High Impact" somewhere inside the quadrant it describes.

Well firstly, it's common courtesy to state it upfront if you have a conflict of interest (E.g. you work for the company being discussed or you're linking something of your own). Secondly, I suspect some people may not like the idea of these kind of metrics.

  Hey thanks for the candid feedback! As for the metrics, I will need to write more about impact based metrics as they are suppose to help developers. For example, it is a fast way to determine potential domain experts for code reviews and other things.
