Could you tell me your secrets in achieving so many stars?
I have a similar albiet differently-structured guide at https://github.com/drakerossman/nixos-musings https://github.com/drakerossman/nixos-musings, but nowhere near the amount of stars you have.
- dlyons 3y ago1. In the beginning, it's very slow. But just iterate and make your project better and better. 2. Use your README to grab the attention of the user. I have a list of features, videos, etc. at the top. 3. I regularly post on various subreddits, Hacker News, etc. trying to support new Nix users. Sometimes I link to my project as an example of code that may help them. I've done this over a couple of years, so there's now a collection of posts people are finding and driving traffic. 4. My experience was that in the beginning, I had to grind out each star one by one. The project never went "viral". But after a certain growth point, Github will pick it up and start recommending it to others. 5. Reddit and Github are now my biggest sources of traffic. Hope this helps!
