Awesome Repos

The job

GitHub stars are useful until the list gets enormous. I wanted a practical way to organise repositories by topic and use case, rather than repeatedly trying to remember why I starred something months ago.

What I built

Awesome Repos turns that pile into a searchable catalogue of lists and topics. The work is mostly about deciding the shape of useful data, then presenting it so the groupings are quicker to browse than raw GitHub stars.

What came out of it

The project is a public Astro site with its source available on GitHub. It is a good example of a smaller information product: a problem from my own workflow, a clear data model, and a website that makes the data useful to other people too.
