We've been building GitGem.org, and the whole thing started from one frustration: finding good open source is weirdly hard, and getting your own project seen is even harder.

GitHub Trending shows you the same giant repos over and over. The genuinely interesting new projects, the ones at 80 stars that should be at 8,000, get buried before anyone notices them. So we built GitGem to rank by star velocity instead of raw totals, pulling from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, with curated gems and a showcase where makers can submit their own work.
