This post was first written on my blog.
I'm a big fan of github stars, I use it to keep projects in hand if needed, like a cool library, or a software I want to try. It's a nice way to store project, plus it gives value to the project!
But the github way of doing it is quite simple : you can make a basic search, sort them, and that's it! It gets more complicated when you have a lot of them...
I have 453 github stars and I wanted to find a way to sort them in folders and categories, that's when I found Astral on github trending system.
Astral is a tool that hooks on your github and let you add tags to them, and it's open source too! :D
A new feature is the ability to sort by language, based on the language inside the repository, and it's working great!
Thanks to it, it's easier to find the one project you stared one year ago so you can finally test it! And you, what do you use to manage project you want to try out?

Great idea Nicolas. I always wondered why github didn't offer this sort of functionality, as I've often found myself losing track of old projects I'd come across.
And superbly executed too! :)
Yeah, I wonder why... Thank for the open source community that made this ^ _^
It's very useful, but I don't understand why does a simple app like this need such a complex and overloaded UI and design. :/
You have a typo in your title: "fullskack" instead of "fullstack".
Thank you! :D
I use on Emacs github.com/Sliim/helm-github-stars
Nice ! I wasn't aware of this tool, thanks !
