I built GitPulse to solve a problem I had: finding beginner-friendly repos.
Features: • 200+ curated “good first issues” • AI-powered difficulty predictor • Smart repo matching • Contributor analytics • Repo health score
It doesn’t even let you discover sources not on MS GitHub—let alone projects not using Git as a VCS? There is a ton of open source happening outside of Microsoft’s AI-filled, walled garden.
Do you mind elaborating? Obv GitHub isn’t the end-all be-all, but I think a lot of people (myself included) aren’t familiar with anywhere else open source is happening on a similar scale. Maybe 1 out of 100 project links I follow end up taking me to gitlab.
GitPulse v1.0 is GitHub-focused as an MVP, but the architecture supports multiple platforms.
Roadmap includes: - GitLab - Codeberg - sr.ht - Self-hosted Gitea
Which platform would you most like to see next?
The algorithms (matching, difficulty prediction) are platform-agnostic and will work anywhere.
Those are starts. There’s also plain cgit, gitweb, & Ayllu for the minimalists on Git. Sourcehut also supports Mercurial. There is also the Pijul Nest. Darcs has contemporary homes in darcs hub & Smederee. Fossil fully self-hosts itself.
