SimRepo adds a “Similar Repositories” section to GitHub, helping you discover related projects without leaving the page.
Technically, it works by embedding repositories into a vector space trained on over 300M GitHub stars. Repositories with similar stargazer patterns end up close to each other, so recommendations are made by finding the nearest neighbors in that space.
SimRepo uses Qdrant, a vector database that handles nearest-neighbor lookups efficiently. This lets SimRepo return relevant results fast, without overloading your machine.
The extension is open source (GPL v3) and available for all major browsers.
Would love feedback on: - The quality of recommendations - Performance across different browsers - Ideas for improving the homepage and recommendations
Thanks for checking it out! I'm happy to answer any questions!
