I Built a Better Way to Discover Trending GitHub Repos 🚀

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Finding new and exciting libraries on GitHub can be noisy. The standard “Trending” tab is great, but it often shows old repositories that just happened to get a random spike in activity today.

I wanted more control. I wanted to see projects that were created recently (like in the last week) but are already gaining traction.

So, I built OhNiceRepo.

What it does

This is a simple web app that connects to the GitHub API to help you discover rising stars. Instead of a generic list, it lets you filter specifically by language, creation date, and star count.

For example, you can search for “TypeScript repositories created in the last 7 days with at least 100 stars.” This filters out the ancient libraries and leaves you with the fresh, trending gems that are actually new.

Try it out

The project is fully open source. If you want to find some new libraries to play with, or if you just want to see how the code handles the GitHub API, check it out.

Please show your support and drop a star on the GitHub repo! Your star counts a ton, and hey, maybe it’ll help OhNiceRepo itself get featured in someone else’s list of nice repos! ⭐

Happy discovering! 👩‍💻
