Limitations

  • GitHub stars are an inflatable metric — do not substitute npm/PyPI downloads as adoption proxy.
  • Docker Hub and crates.io underrepresented in collected signals.
  • StackOverflow may be in decline (AI competition).

Methodological Notes

  • tech_trends aggregates GitHub, npm, PyPI, StackOverflow and HackerNews.
  • github_trending captures repositories by recent observed popularity: language, stars and forks (context only).
  • HackerNews stories include entity extraction (mentioned companies/technologies).
  • Developer tools tracked via VS Code and JetBrains marketplaces.
