What's taking off in open source, by growth not stars

awesomemap maps open-source ecosystems and ranks projects by how fast they're growing, not how big they already are. Daily GitHub star snapshots feed 7 and 30-day growth windows, and a velocity score keeps tiny-project noise from outranking real momentum. Explore zoomable treemaps per ecosystem, weekly signals like biggest mover and losing momentum, a Rising leaderboard, and side-by-side project comparison. Free, open source (MIT), and community-curated.
the 'growth, not stars' framing is the useful part here - star counts tell you what already won, this tells you what's winning this week. the rising score with the square-root damping for tiny projects is a nice touch too, star-noise is what kills most 'trending repos' lists. curious whether the category growth view has surfaced any ecosystem surprises that the per-project lists missed?
