Per-topic GitHub trending

Trending repos for the topics you actually care about

Global trending is dominated by projects that already have tens of thousands of stars. Upstar ranks star velocity inside each topic, so an emulator that goes from 50 → 800 stars this week tops #emulation instead of disappearing on page nine.

Read-only GitHub access. We use your public stars to suggest topics, nothing else.

How it works

Topics work like subreddits for GitHub. Each one has its own trending list, so small projects compete with their peers instead of with the whole platform.

  1. 01

    Pick topics

    Follow topics like Emulation, Self-hosted or Rust. Sign in with GitHub and we suggest topics based on the repos you’ve already starred.

  2. 02

    We track star velocity per topic

    Every repo is scored by stars gained relative to its size, then ranked inside each topic it belongs to. Today, this week and this month are ranked separately.
