I just finished the MVP very recently, so I'd love to get your feedback. So far the coverage is pretty good and I've been using it constantly to stay tuned, but I'll be adding more news sources and improving the crawler in the coming days.
I have to thank the Firebase team for all the support. The project is also built entirely using serverless stack using Google Cloud Functions.
In response, I'm launching a simple project, Awesome Github Topics. It's an indexed list of the top 500 topics on GitHub that's painstaking filtered and categorized into different categories based on developer interests.
While Github hasn't released an API endpoint for the new topics feature yet. I just crawled the top repos on Github and scanned the tags then ranked all the most commonly used tags based on the total number of stars it had in the collection of repos. It's not a perfect count but it should be good enough on a relative measurement.
Hope you find it useful.
However, that said I do plan to improve discoverability even more with traffic data since now I can atleast measure views on gitlogs.
The algorithm basically looks at the moving average, the new watchers gained and the number of total watchers. It'll calculate the the rate of change in new watchers and compare that against what it expects given the lifecycle of where the repo is at. So a brand new repo adding 150 stars per day will beat out an established repo that adds 250 stars per day.
I'm using a peak detection algorithm to find which repos are spiking in traffic and rank the uptrend based on a normalized growth curve. This filters out all the well established repos and actually uncovers new trends and launches. Hope you guys find it useful!
Some notable features, there's also a better interface to search topics on github as well as a curated topics section: http://www.gitlogs.com/resource-guides http://www.gitlogs.com/search
Appreciate any feedback,
https://www.visualcv.com/www/google-docs-resume-templates/
From the awesome feedback we got, we decided to make a simple Google Doc add-on to help users fill out the templates easily with their existing Word resume, LinkedIn profile or VisualCV profile and be able to switch between designs easily.
If you guys like it please rate us on the chrome store :)
Also, we are giving away free pro VisualCV upgrades for anyone who uses the new Google Doc Add-on
If you guys have any suggestions of what kind of designs you'd like to see in the future. let me know.
