StarSearch is our AI-powered feature that provides in-depth insights into contributor history and activities, bringing transparency and a new depth of knowledge about open source projects.
We're beyond excited to introduce StarSearch to you all. Our newest feature at OpenSauced!
In 2022, I worked at GitHub and consistently got feedback from open-source maintainers that they’d love more insights. This is also true for builders who depend on open source to ship and iterate quickly. Founders are choosing open source, but few know who to connect with for expertise.
🌟 Why StarSearch?
In the 90s, I watched a show on television at my grandma's house called StarSearch. This same show discovered Beyonce, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Timberlake before they were stars. This new and complementary feature is live in our OpenSauced product today, and we have indexed millions of GitHub events and are excited to get your feedback on the approach.
🍕 Track impactful developers from open source projects
🍕 Discover new projects in open source
🍕 Identify your next core contributors
Using StarSearch, you can find up-and-coming contributors through trends in public open-source data, which can set you apart from the rest when building. We love open source and want more folks connected to the who's who in this space. StarSearch is our first exploration of adding semantic search to fetch relevant context on the projects used, built, and depended on.
