Very nice! I was actually wondering lately how I could find out about github repositories that are of interest to me (without reading HN every day).

I'm wondering, what kind of recommendation engine is this project using?

View on HN

You mean our service Porter.io ? We analyze starred repo of our user and recommend news based on similarity and popularity . And we have bunch of ideas to improve this.

Well, given that there is already a lot of research in the area of collaborative filtering (see for example [1]), I would expect that there exist also some open source engines for this problem.
