Trending tab

[daiyam]

I just got the message:

Heads up! This Trending tab is being deprecated. Due to low usage of Trending Repositories and Trending Developers, this tab will no longer be available beginning September 30, 2022. 

This tab is my default page to access GitHub. I go there every day to discover new projects.

I'm flabbergasted by that decision...

[vv12131415]

100% for me too. I use it everyday to discover new interesting projects

This is not a good decision. The trending tab is one of the few reasons I enjoy using Github.

I hope you can't

其实，你在一个以p打头的网站上推荐的概率远大于在这里上trending的概率

This is literally single tab I visit regularly outside of repositories.

[ajs1998]

What else am I supposed to do on GitHub? Looking at trending repositories is like 50% of the time I spend here. So many of the cool projects I've found have come from Trending

Half of the repos on my Starred list are projects I found while lurking the Trending tab. Please don't get rid of the Trending tab 😭

Trending is only tab that provide insights on what interesting is happen around whole Open Source community.
Topics, Explore, Collections and Events are not even close to be usable of usefull

[merlindorin]

Clearly, just #WTF. I think this is not due to low usage, this is because they prefer the shitty "explore" that includes ads, events, sponsored content, etc.

[mateow1192]

wow, I think you are absolutely right

[aevansbt]

was looking for and hoping I wouldn't have to be the one to make that comment. Think: Digg

[Voltra]

wow

[tylerjgarland]

No need for a conspiracy. They could put ads, events, and sponsored content in trending tabs too if they wanted.

[Aynur1225]

Destek verin heleeee 😅

[vishjain]

I love this tool - heartbreaking to see this go away!

[ylluminate]

They realized it was valuable and they don't want you to have the data for valuable decision making. Simple as that.

[sultaniman]

Well trending is the main source for my favorite listings.

[xtwist]

That's insane. Everybody who is truly interested in open source use this page very often.
This decision looks silly, as if some "efficient manager" looked at the user base, compared it to the number of visitors on the Trendings page and decided to shut it down.

[arpadgabor]

This is a really bad decision. Just leave it as is, we don't need fancy features, we just want a simple way to discover new and awesome projects.

The trending tab is my browser startup page; any alternatives, please?

[luzizhuo]

We are working on a tool for open source project insights. you can find the trending repo here: https://ossinsight.io/#trending-repos.

[trevorkhaimia]

God it would so nice is github was community driven and freely opensource

Codeberg doesn't have Trending

[faalatawi]

This page is my gateway to many of the awesome projects on this site. It's one of the main reasons that I visit this site every day. Please don't remove it

[mehdihadeli]

I use trending tab for finding helpful package, this is one of the GitHub feature. Please don't do this.

[thebetauser]

This decision must be from a manager who doesn't even use github on a daily basis. Trending is a developers gateway to find amazing as well as up-and-coming projects. I also agree, most of the starred projects I have on my account was found through the trending page. Without trending I wouldn't even have found all the "awesome" repos which have such a valuable source of information.

[ndthanhdev]

If GitHub deprecates "Trending" tab because of low usage, What are high usage tabs ?

"For you" can not replace Trending tab, don't force people to use the new feature by shutting down the good feature.

[ylluminate]

Sadly high powered users are sometimes some of the fewest users. It doesn't mean you eliminate their needs. This is how you frustrate and upset customers and Microshaft and even Apple are good at doing this. These idiot companies need to realize that these are actually the users to cater to regardless of their metrics. Steve Jobs "got it," but very few other business leaders comprehend this valuable and formative concept.

[eggimo]

Hi everyone! I'm working with the team on Trending and would love to get more detailed feedback on the Trending tab. If you're interested in helping us make it better, we'd like to do a compensated 15 minute testing session with you!

[LoiLock]

Just sent an email, would be more than willing to help, no need to be compensated.

[CyberYui]

Why you have to remove one of your most useful tab ? My friends and my teammates all like this page , don't remove it , save it ! FOREVER !

[vincentkoc]

No, i love this for discovery!!!!

[softorangetech1122]

The answer says: "Hey folks - Martin from GitHub here.

Thanks for all the feedback on the Trending page. Given the feedback here, it’s clear we need to look again at the plan to deprecate this. The team is going to re-evaluate and see if we can come up with some other options. We’ll get back to you before the end of the month. In the meantime we’ll take the deprecation warning off the page until we have a clearer idea of what the long term plan is. ...read full answer here

I'm a big fan of the trending page, I actually made an app that actually links to what people are talking about trending repositories on Twitter, HackerNews, and Reddit. I start my day by opening this app.

Glad I found the correct thread. I hope someone finds it useful ❤️

[vitalets]

Maybe make some improvements on notification feature of GiHub trends?
Like github-trending-repos project that sends GitHub notifications about new trends. Many people found it useful.

你好，你的邮件我已收到

[tommywalkie]

For some background, from all our telemetry, usage of the Trending page has been very low since it was created and usage has stagnated

Therefore the current plan is the following, but keen to get people’s feedback on it.

• Keep trending projects Leave it where it is for now but investigate ways of making it more prominent and more useful. From our side we’ll need to re-invest to make the backend that powers it more stable and more maintainable.

The more time passes, the harder it is to reach the Trending tab on Github. With the new UI, there is an additional bottom sidebar button click required to access that tab. Seriously, it would be better to add OSS Insights or the Trending tab as a browser favorite.

👋 Hello GitHub Community,

I've been an active GitHub user, focusing on medical imaging and computer-assisted surgery projects. The Trending tab has been instrumental in my journey, allowing me to discover new projects, tools, and libraries relevant to my field.

1. Feedback

1.1. Discovery & Learning: The Trending tab has been a gateway for me to explore innovative projects and learn from the best practices of other developers.

1.2. Collaboration Opportunities: By discovering trending repositories, I've been able to collaborate with like-minded developers and contribute to projects that align with my expertise.

1.3. Community Building: The Trending tab fosters a sense of community, where developers can showcase their work and receive recognition from peers.

2. Suggestions

2.1. Personalized Trending: Introduce a feature where the Trending tab can be personalized based on a user's interests, past contributions, and starred repositories.

2.2. Highlighting Academic & Research Projects: Given the increasing intersection of academia and open-source, it would be beneficial to highlight research-based projects on the Trending tab.

I genuinely hope the GitHub team reconsiders the decision to deprecate this valuable feature. It's been a cornerstone of my GitHub experience, and I believe many others feel the same.

Best regards,

@FMCalisto
