So it favors, not projects that are necessarily most valuable, but projects which initially get a lot of attention.\r\n\r\nThis is not just an easy stat to game (whenever I open source something I must email all my friends to please star it now, which is weird and annoying), but also one that means many useful projects will never be seen here.\r\n\r\nIt would be nice if you added a category for \"long tail\" projects - ones that didn't necessarily make an initial huge splash, but have shown steady gains over time and have not been listed before."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thechangelog/nightly/issues/comments/76538629","html_url":"https://github.com/thechangelog/nightly/issues/10#issuecomment-76538629","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/thechangelog/nightly/issues/10","id":76538629,"user":{"login":"adamstac","id":2933,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2933?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac","html_url":"https://github.com/adamstac","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/adamstac/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-28T18:27:09Z","updated_at":"2015-02-28T18:27:09Z","body":"@timboudreau thanks for sharing your thoughts here. It's very helpful to see your perspective when thinking about what we're doing here.\r\n\r\nI will say that is just a start for us. We have plans for more ways to present interesting data to help folks keep up. We also don't want to be a GitHub explore me too of sorts.\r\n\r\nWith Changelog Nightly, we took what GitHub Archive had done already well, redesigned it to a more presentable version, made it look great on mobile, and updated the content and presentation to fine tune its readability.\r\n\r\nI'll let @jerodsanto weigh in with his thoughts around this. He's working on a project (totally heads down) right now, so expect a response back next week sometime."}}
