It would create more interesting conversation if you highlighted the merits of your design rather than superficial measures like CNCF blessings (there are thousands of such projects) and GitHub stars (easily gamed).

The description might not be good enough, but I have to write something. It's used by many companies and projects. And the design is described in github readme, it's rather long to tell here. Thanks!

  Is getting listed in cncf landscape a big deal? Is it an official cncf project?
  - justincormack 5y ago
    It is an official CNCF project, but its not very difficult to get added, see https://github.com/cncf/landscape#new-entries https://github.com/cncf/landscape#new-entries you need 300 github stars and to be cloud native.

  Hi, are you involved with the project in a substantial capacity? If not, show hn isn't an appropriate qualifier. May be, tell hn (or, no qualifier) is.

  surely it has a key differentiator? > It's used by many companies and projects No one cares, they would care if you have contributions from many parties which indicates longivity, do tell in that case. I do think your project is interesting, it's just the title doesn't do it justice.

    Thanks for your comments! I have been working as a programmer for 20 years, and have contributed to some popular projects, if you interested, please check it in github. And you can check my contributions at https://github.com/kevwan https://github.com/kevwan, 946 contributions in the last year. Would you please give me some suggestions on the title? Thank you very much!

I am eager to know how to game GitHub stars. Funding agencies love metrics and random KPI so I would love to deliver...

    That made me curious: never thought there was a real market but people really seem to pay 1$ per star. Now I have to only trick someone into giving me money for that. Would be a fun project btw to detect gh not account and projects that obviously paid to get stars.
    - patrickevans 5y ago
      If I paid one cent for stars, I would close the project.

  Right up to the moment your funding agency calls you out during DD and then you are in deep trouble. Would not recommend.

  Why does it matter if GH stars can be gamed or not, could you tell me what it measures?

Did you click on the link? The README goes on great detail as to what makes it special.

I didn't know what CNCF is. https://www.cncf.io/ https://www.cncf.io/ > Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) serves as the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing open source projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy. Does erlang and OTP count by this definition?
