Real-time streaming ASR that finally runs on a single GPU. Active maintainers, clean API — safe to build on.
Stars are a lagging vanity metric. We rank by velocity — stars/day, right now — kill ~95% of the noise with AI, and hand-curate what's left. A 5-minute read, every day. Free.
The signal
GitHub Trending refreshes faster than your coffee and star counts lag reality by months. We measure the only thing that matters early — how fast a project is gaining ground.
Why this exists
Adopt an abandoned or hyped dependency and you pay in rewrites, broken builds, and supply-chain risk — weeks of lost work.
Dozens of AI repos ship daily — 4.3M and counting. No human keeps up, and Trending is gone by lunch.
One dead dependency means rewrites and risk. Knowing what's maintained and accelerating saves real time.
Stars are lagging and gameable. A 50k-star repo can be frozen; a 200-star one can be this week's breakout.
The product
Every edition is a tight, opinionated shortlist — the call already made for you. No dashboards, no digging.
Real-time streaming ASR that finally runs on a single GPU. Active maintainers, clean API — safe to build on.
Expressive TTS with voice cloning. Quality is striking but the license is unsettled — promising, not production.
Still riding 40k old stars but last real commit was 11 months ago. The velocity spike is a fork, not the original.
What you get
One read replaces scanning GitHub, HN, Reddit and arXiv. We do the digging; you get the shortlist.
We flag what's maintained and accelerating — and what to skip — before you commit a dependency.
Ranked by stars/day, not totals — so you see breakouts while they're still an edge, not after everyone moved.
Every pick is deep-read and noise-filtered by hand. No dead links, no archived junk, no hype padding.
The call we make for you
One wrong dependency costs weeks. One good call pays for a year of reading us — and we're free.
Free forever
