After starring too many Github awesome repos, I found that I need to track them, not just star them. So I created trackawesomelist.com to track 500+ most popular awesome repos, updated daily, for free.

For browsing awesome repos on Github, I have two pain points, one is that I can't see the latest added items, and the second is that I can't see the star count of the items, so I created trackawesomelist.com and solved my own pain points, I wonder if you also have these pain points.

Any feedback will be helpful, Thanks!

Nice! Great that you have an RSS feed too!

This is excellent! I dreamed of such thing all the time.

Do you mind sharing some technical details on how did you implement data collection, diff, search, aggregation, etc?

Thanks! I use mdast to parsing https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome for collecting awesome list.

then, clone all these git awesome repos, parsed their readme by mdast, split with list-item, or heading, got these items updated time by `git blame` command, added these items to database.

Then, I used gatsby to build a static site, 2 times deploy per day.
