I've found one of the best ways to do the "stubmleupon" concept is to follow dozens of devs who star interesting repos (sometimes solely for that reason) and check your news stream often. I follow devs from a wide variety of backgrounds, which yields numerous libraries that I might not otherwise be aware of (and sometimes months ahead of HN exposure). One of the best things I've done with my GitHub account.
A solid example is: https://github.com/fogus https://github.com/fogus
- jpadvo 13y agoHow do you find these devs who star interesting repos? Edit: after some thought and poking around, one way to find these devs is to just look at the profiles of devs who run projects you use. If they've starred a lot of repos, see if they star things you would be interested in. If so, follow them. Easy.
- hashtree 13y agoYour example is spot on. Additionally, I use twitter, authors of books, authors of research papers, see who these devs follow, and numerous other ways of traversing the GitHub social graph.
- samirahmed 13y agothis is exactly what i do too. Another great person to follow is Ilya Grigorik ... https://github.com/igrigorik https://github.com/igrigorik He spents a lot of time following repos, and literally built the github archive just to keep up with this.

- fogus 13y agoThanks! I use the same technique as you and have found many interesting repositories via https://github.com/swannodette https://github.com/swannodette and https://github.com/namin https://github.com/namin.
