How long does it normally take projects to get stars though? You're not going to have a project with 100+ stars overnight or even within a month, you have to promote the project?
- JanisErdmanis 7mo agoDepends widely on the target audience. In my case, targeting Julia developers who want to package their applications into installers to reach 100 stars took 2 years - https://peacefounder.org/AppBundler.jl https://peacefounder.org/AppBundler.jl. If I were to target Python developers, I would have many more stars.
- ModernMech 7mo agoIt depends on how much you promote your repo and how big it is. I know when my repo gets posted somewhere because I'll get a little burst of stars for a few days and then it'll calm down until it's posted somewhere again. Much larger repos will get stars at a more constant rate as they reach a critical liftoff velocity.
- jamesfinlayson 7mo agoMy most popular repo is reasonably niche, is 10 years old and has a bit over 40 stars and that's from pretty much no advertising.
