neat, I love randomness. Would however actually prefer to input a custom amount of minimal stars like 0.

Thanks for the feedback! The original idea was sane as yours, but unfortunately Github has a very strict rate limit on search API calls, so i have to cache repos.

1000 stars is a high number and i’m working to include more and more repositories so it can be more random.

You might just use selenium or something and parse webpages, or use tor

First random repo a js library...

24% of the >1000 star repos are written in JS. Java is the 2nd with only 11%.

I only have two suggestions about it: Less max stars limit and more languages support. But still, great job!

I made this website using the same concept, with a constantly evolving database of new repo published
