Eh, public stars and forks on OSS repos is a really valuable indicator of whether to seriously consider using a library IMO.
Not like, 3k vs 8k, but like 200 vs 0... help me understand if this is this a hobby project someone wrote and abandoned in a few days.
- ComputerGuru 4y agoI have projects lovingly maintained for a decade (and responding to genuine issues with bug fixes within days) that have under five stars. Not a good metric.
- bpodgursky 4y agoI still strongly suspect that you have more stars than any "competitive" OSS projects in the niche (if any even exist), which is all I'm using the stars as a heuristic for (initial sort).
- ComputerGuru 4y ago> if any even exist Fair point.
