GitHub trending has proven to be a failure

= Microsoft thought of using this to make money. "You pay to make your repo show up on the trending section" , but realised GitHub isn't LinkedIn/Twitter/FB.

Another shortcoming of trending repos is language. I often see a trending repo in a language that I cannot read.

Some options are:

- Put a translation for me so my interest can be piqued.

- Let me choose which language I can read so you can personalize it.

- Figure it out based on repos I have starred or forked.
