GitGem.org: Find open source projects worth starring

GitGem.org helps you discover open source that deserves attention: trending repos, curated gems, and developer showcases from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg. Ranked by star velocity, not just raw counts, so genuinely rising projects surface instead of the same old giants.

Hey Product Hunt, Gabriel here. We built GitGem.org because finding good open source still mostly means refreshing GitHub Trending and hoping something interesting floats up. The big repos dominate, and genuinely promising new projects get buried before anyone notices them. GitGem ranks by star velocity instead of raw totals, so a project going from 50 to 500 stars in a week can outrank one sitting on 40k. It pulls from GitHub, GitLab, and Codeberg, with curated gems, daily charts, and a showcase where developers can submit their own work. It's free, there's no signup wall to browse, and there's a README badge so maintainers can show their rank. Would love to hear what projects you think deserve more attention, and any feedback on what would make this more useful for how you discover open source.

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.
