Maybe I’m the weird one, but I’ve never cared about GitHub stars.
The real GitHub lock in has never been the code, that’s the fungible part. It’s the issues and discussions and everything else not included in a git clone.
- ashishb 10mo agoAre you sure you never cared about it? For example, how would you decide which FOSS vector database to use? Do you completely ignore GitHub Stars in the process?
- einsteinx2 10mo agoYes? I mean I’ve never gone looking for a tech solution by browsing GitHub repos. I would have already done research online, read documentation, etc and decided on the vector database and then gone to the GitHub repo (or probably just installed from my package manager or docker and never even seen the repo). Things like good documentation, good performance, good DX, and an active user community would be the deciding factors for me. One repo having more stars than another wouldn’t even factor into it.
