Congrats on the launch ! I just queried for some of the top contributors for one repo I was interested in and got good insights. I like how it not just shows the list, but a glimpse of their contributions, and an insight at the end
Maker
, I appreciate you testing it out. We have a PR open to add some extra functionality soon. It should get merged later today, let us know if you have any other feedback.
Maker
what types of things do you want to know about projects you're interested in?
Killer!!! No more manual comparison shopping for libraries ever again!!
Maker
yep, let's go. And its getting better
Maker
Love this idea. And it can let you know who to talk to if you have a problem.
I normally spend hours in my week hunting for guests on CodingCat.dev podcast. Now I can find people so much easier. For example I gave this prompt today: "Who can I interview on my podcast CodingCat.dev about typescript projects that are trending" And got back: Here are several contributors to trending TypeScript projects that would make excellent guests on your podcast: : Project: getsentry/sentry Contribution: Added more TypeScript rules to improve type checking and code quality. Summary: Anonrig submitted a pull request to enforce stricter TypeScript rules in the Sentry codebase, adding the /jest and ts-jest packages, and creating a new test suite. : Project: puppeteer/puppeteer Contribution: Improved test reliability and added TypeScript types. Summary: Lightning00Blade worked on reducing test flakiness and adding TypeScript types, improving the development experience for those using TypeScript with Puppeteer. : Project: amannn/next-intl Contribution: Updated documentation for TypeScript usage. Summary: ScreamZ enhanced the next-intl project documentation, offering better guidance on how to use TypeScript within the project. : Projects: microsoft/TypeScript-Website microsoft/TypeScript Contributions: Forced TypeScript to emit .d.ts files and linked changes with Microsoft's monaco-editor. Updated dependencies, switching back to TypeScript's bundler from esbuild. Summary: Jake Bailey has been active in both updating dependencies and linking TypeScript changes, focusing on improving the TypeScript development environment and its tooling. You can reach out to these contributors to share their insights and experiences on working with TypeScript on trending repositories.

that is an amazing use case. Thanks for sharing!
Maker
I LOVE this idea. Let us know when you drop your podcasts with those folks. Can't wait to listen.
Maker
Hadn't even thought of this 🤯
Maker
wow, incredible use case: so glad you're already getting value from it!
Starsearch is a pretty cool feature! I can definitely see myself using it in the future when I want to maintain my own projects. Congratulations on the launch
Maker
thanks so much
Maker
You don't have to wait! It's a great way to connect with experts and other contributors working on projects you're interested in.
The product looks interesting, but I'm curious about the usage frequency of this product. How many people actually need it?
Maker
we've just launched the product, but there's wide application for anyone in open source, IMO. As it stands today, the open source ecosystem can feel pretty disconnected. Theoretically, we know that there are maintainers, contributors, and projects out there that are incredibly talented and innovative, but finding them can feel impossible. StarSearch makes this easier. And with 90% of companies using open source software, it's definitely useful to understand who is keeping open source projects alive or has the experience to be able to answer questions. This is just the beginning.
Maker
, thats a good question. I spent the last two years working alongside engineers and customers, building our first product, OpenSauced. Our feedback from there is that our customers ask the same questions about open source monthly. I can show you how this hit 100m ARR and clear market size in a pitch deck, but the TBH hat is the secret sauce.
Maker
Bekah answered this better. I think the being up 36 hours straight is getting to me :)
heads up. scrolling doesn't work in safari 😅 Like for this page:
Maker
Appreciate you reporting that. Our project is open source, and our team will most likely address that soon.
Maker
is this on Safari for macOS? Just asking as I’m on mobile atm. It’s working great on Safari on iPhone with no issues.
Great UI! Awesome team and one of those components you didn’t know you wanted and once you use it you don’t know how you lived without it!
Maker
appreciate you
Maker
thanks, Jason! And I may be biased, but I agree that it's an awesome team!
Congratulations on the launch! I an impressed by the results I have gotten so far. Great job!
Maker
Thank you so much! If you have any, feedback is always welcome too :)
Maker
Thank you! What enhancements would you like to see in the future?
The best looking chat UI ever with a very novel use-case!! Awesome work guys 👏👏
Maker
we moved pretty fast with this and have been really iterated a ton to get tot his point, and no where close to done.
Maker
Thanks, ! designed a beautiful project. That's for sure!
Maker
