Ask HN: Extension or webpage to quickly pulsecheck a GitHub project

1 pointslakechfoma8y ago1 comments

Browsing a GH project and trying to see if it's still "alive" is time consuming as it requires understanding pieces of all of the insights pages and looking at activity on different branches and in the issue/pull pages. Is there any website or browser extension that can quickly provide insight to the activity/growth/decline of a project or organization? Or maybe I'm missing something and GH already offers a ready to consume summary

Of course such a summary can't say "project is stable and boring, doesn't need work" but more often than not I am looking for something that should have plenty of momentum, or I find something that looks half baked and I want to quickly understand whether development effort is slowing down or speeding up.
