I built StarBack — discover projects from people who star your GitHub repo

说明与用途

StarBack 将新的 GitHub 关注者转化为项目发现流，使用 GitHub Actions 和 Issues，全部在 GitHub 内部完成，无需外部托管。

问题

GitHub stars are one‑directional; stargazers often disappear after starring, so maintainers lack insight into what projects those users are building.

结果

StarBack turns each new stargazer into a curated project discovery feed, all running natively inside GitHub without external hosting or databases.

工作流

• 1. Add two small workflow files to .github/workflows/ in the repo.
• 2. Configure the required GitHub secret.
• 3. When someone stars the repo, GitHub Actions runs the StarBack workflow.
• 4. StarBack queries the stargazer’s public repositories via the GitHub REST API.
• 5. Repositories are filtered (exclude forks, archived, disabled, inactive) and scored using stars, recent activity, forks, description, topics, and homepage.
• 6. The highest‑scoring repo is added as a task in a GitHub Issue inbox (e.g., "StarBack Inbox").

证据

StarBack is a GitHub-native tool that turns new stargazers into a project discovery feed.
