This week kneath and I (with some help from The Changelog) rolled out Explore GitHub – a new page showing trending repositories, repositories recently featured on The Changelog, and recent episodes of their weekly podcast.
The trending repos are updated every 20 minutes so have fun watching projects climb the charts as they’re blogged and tweeter about throughout the day.
Really great stuff, guys. Each of these improvements have been a big step toward improving GitHub.
I was just wondering when you guys were going to get around to the wikis? It would be nice to have a wiki system that is much more tightly integrated with the rest of GitHub (not to mention the need to fix the events posted by the wiki, which are consistently inconsistent)
dope, not sure how often I will look at it but its interesting!
I agree with hammerdr. Explore is very cool, but updated wikis would be even cooler.
Timezones!!! ppppls
That's pretty interesting. I was wondering if these things can be queried by using the GitHub API, also things like the data used to plot the github project pages graphs?
Is there any reason why we should speak in hydrogliphics
Very nice feature, I used to log out from time to time in order to see featured projects! (which you cannot see if you're logged in, can you?)
chikamichi: You can, you just have to go to http://github.com/home
Neat!
It would be nice to have a graph showing (or even comparing!) each project's popularity over time.
An idea... if a project shows up on the Trending Repos... you might fire off an email to the project owner so that they're aware. :-)
I am wondering how could be someone's sandbox listed as trending repo? I am sure there is no buzz about repos like this :)
