  • I started working on a similiar project a few weeks ago.

    I crawled the old markdown version and then queried the GitHub GraphQL API for some additional info like topics, avatars and commit count over the past year.

    Repo: https://github.com/mkitzmann/awwesome Demo: https://awweso.me/

    Im more than happy to collaborate on this if there is any interest.

    • Hi, sorry to bother you with this first off, but please comply with the license since this is a derivative work. It just needs attribution, a link back to the project, and a link to the license (like data by the awesome-selfhosted community, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0) somewhere (page footer is fine). It's nothing against you or your site, but the license must be enforced.

      I'm not sure topic tags defined by project owners are very relevant or useful? vuejs hacktoberfest javascript, etc... at least some are redundant with the description/language tag, or just filler words... If you're looking for a specific word on https://awesome-selfhosted.net/, isn't the search feature enough? Interested to hear other opinions.

      Icons are interesting, maybe you'd like to open an issue for this? We could try to add icons to each item (a number of them can probably be automatically gathered through Github's API like you did)

      Commit history graphs don't really help much (as no scale is shown), but maybe we could improve the way project "activity" levels are displayed on https://awesome-selfhosted.net. Currently we only show the date of last commit to each project. I think it is useful but it does not tell much about the frequency of commits.

      FYI the generator for the final HTML version can be found here

      • Very sorry for the missing attribution. I added it in the header, should be online now.

        Just want to say that Im a big fan of what you guys do! Awesome Selfhosted is really great.

        Regarding the topics Im also not 100% happy with it but at least it provides the ability to find projects that likely support docker for example. It would probably be great to have this kind of information inside awesome selfhosted.

        More than happy to add an issue for Icons. The problem here is that repos dont actually have icons, there are only icons from the owner of the repo. So with some projects its a photo of the owner for example.

        I looked a bit into how best to determine the activity level of a project and for me commit history is one of the strongest signs. Also Github uses this kind if graph in a users repo overview so its already familiar to GitHub users. There should be a label with the max number of commits to provide some scale, could be a browser problem.

        There is also https://isitmaintained.com/ which measures issue resolution and percentage of open issues. But this can also be quite missleading since it shows positive for an empty repo.

        Thanks for the link to the generator, I will look into it.

          No problem, thanks for fixing it so quickly!

          This information is already present but we need to make it easier to browse projects by platform -> https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/issues/71

          There should be a label with the max number of commits to provide some scale,

          now I see it but it's a bit small :)

          I see, I agree it's a good metric. I am wary of adding too much information that relies on Github APIs because 1. it encourages centralization on a proprietary platform 2. we are already running into API rate limits with just the info we currently gather (stars count + last commit date). And we would need a way to store this graph information in the raw YAML data somehow. If you want to create an issue for this, to gather more feedback and so it can be discussed further, please do!
