The app is built to cut through the noise and find what's the most influential crypto news for the day. There are some other news aggregators out there but they mostly just ingest RSS feed and without a really good way to rank it. We are actively crawling and aggregating news from the web.

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.

The goal here was to simplify the UX of content management systems. I always hated the fact that most CMS systems is just layers and layers of forms to fill out. I think a table or spreadsheet interface can give a more direct connection with the underlying data and it allows you to edit the data and data models all in one view intuitively.

I have to thank the Firebase team for all the support. The project is also built entirely using serverless stack using Google Cloud Functions.

Last week, GitHub released an awesome feature called Topics. It allows authors to tag their repository.

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.

my bad, was there some rules for this? I wrote a detection algorithm to find which are the top trending repos that were not featured on HN and I sometimes pick out a good one to feature. I thought it was be nice to spread the word on some of these under appreciated projects.

That's definitely something on my mind originally. But since I can't get traffic data from Github, the best thing I can do is to filter out the highly established repos and weigh new repos higher in the rankings. You can see that even with just 150+ stars gained for a brand new repo this system will show it at the top top of the rank despite other popular repos that might have gotten 700+ gains on that day.

However, that said I do plan to improve discoverability even more with traffic data since now I can atleast measure views on gitlogs.

Right now if a repo is trending down (from the moving average) it will have a negative score and won't be showed at all.

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.

Developer here, I subscribe to Github's official weekly newsletter and various other ones but always found that they did a poor job at highlighting what's trending. The "top trending" repos always seem to be most established projects like Bootstrap or ReactJs.

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,

We've created a collection of Google Docs resume templates a couple of weeks back and posted it on /r/jobs.

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

Right now we just have simple exports in various formats like Google Doc or a PDF resume. We are looking to embed structured data with the PDF that we are creating for users so that the data is always tied to their application and it makes for really simple resume parsing.
