Hey @lonnyzhang423 👋 — thanks for building and maintaining this project! It's a genuinely useful resource for the community. Here are some thoughts after looking things over:
💪 Strengths
-
Consistent, long-running data collection — Archiving GitHub trending data hourly since January 2021 is impressive commitment. That historical dataset is genuinely valuable for anyone researching OSS trends over time, and the daily archive structure makes it easy to navigate.
-
Part of a well-thought-out ecosystem — The README links to five sibling projects (Zhihu, Weibo, Toutiao, Douyin, v2ex hot hubs), which shows a coherent, reusable design philosophy. It's clear you've built a pattern that scales across different data sources, which is great for maintainability.
-
Lightweight and focused — ~7.7KB of Python to power the whole thing suggests the codebase is lean and purposeful. Small, focused tools are easier to trust and contribute to than sprawling frameworks.
💡 Suggestions
-
Add a quick-start / self-hosting guide — Right now the README only describes what the project does, not how to run it yourself. Since the Python code is in the repo, many users would love to self-host their own trending tracker. Even a short section like:
## Running Locally
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py
...along with a note about how the GitHub Actions workflow is set up, would go a long way. It lowers the barrier to contribution significantly.
-
Surface the "暂无数据" (no data) situation — The README currently shows "暂无数据" (no data) in all three sections (today, past week, past month). If this is a transient scraping issue or a result of GitHub changing their trending page structure, it might be worth adding a small status badge or a note in the README so visitors aren't left wondering if the project is abandoned. A simple GitHub Actions workflow status badge would help communicate "the bot is running fine" vs. "something broke."
-
Add GitHub Topics — The repository has no topics set, which makes it much harder to discover via GitHub search. Adding tags like github-trending, data-archive, python, automation, trending would help people find this project organically. It's a low-effort change with real visibility impact for a project that's been running for 5+ years.
⚡ Quick Wins
-
Add a workflow status badge to the README — Something like:
This immediately signals to visitors whether the hourly updates are healthy, which builds trust in the data freshness.
-
Add an English summary at the top of the README — Since GitHub trending data is globally relevant, a one-sentence English description (e.g., "Hourly snapshots of GitHub Trending, archived daily since 2021.") would make the project accessible to international users who might benefit from or contribute to it. It could meaningfully grow your star count too! ⭐
Overall, this is a solid, quietly useful project — the kind that quietly serves the community without much fanfare. The main opportunity is just making it easier for newcomers to understand, run, and trust it. Keep up the great work! 🚀
