Show HN: EmergingRepos – finding repos that are just starting to get momentum

Hi HN,

  I’m working on an idea called EmergingRepos (working name) a site for finding repos that are just starting to get momentum. The kind of repo I’m interested in is not brand new with 0 stars and not already famous. The sweet spot is something like:

  - small star count

  - small fork count

  - recent commits

  - more than one contributor

The idea is that this could be a win-win. Maintainers get thoughtful early attention, and readers get to discover repos where they can jump in, make a PR and get that joining an active team feel. i.e. the days of just making your own new repo and trying to get it going might be over. There’s just too many! Here are a few examples:

https://github.com/holgerleichsenring/agent-smith

https://github.com/wshm-dev/wshm

What do you think of the idea? Is this good data you don’t see anywhere else?

Thanks!
