How to compare open-source repos

Stars: GitHub's bookmark button. A high total means many developers noticed the project at some point; it says little about whether it is still maintained.
Stars gained (24 hours, 7 days): Momentum. OSS Radar ranks repos by these gains, so a young project gaining fast can outrank an older one with far more total stars.
Forks: Copies people made to change the code. Many forks relative to stars usually means people are building on it, not just bookmarking it.
Last code push and latest release: Maintenance signals. A recent push shows someone is still working on it; tagged releases show versions you can pin to.
Hacker News: How many HN stories linked the repo and how many points they drew: a rough measure of discussion outside GitHub.

Stars, forks, pushes and releases come from the public GitHub API and are refreshed hourly; Hacker News figures come from HN's public search API. Sponsors never affect rankings or comparisons.
