Description
Developers often struggle to find relevant GitHub repositories that can assist with their specific projects. This problem is particularly acute when working on complex tasks such as building AI tools or other specialized software. The current process involves manually searching through GitHub, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.Consequences
This inefficiency can lead to wasted time and effort, slower project development, and increased frustration among developers.Sources (1)
This started from pure frustration while building my first product, an AI Excel tool. I kept digging through GitHub looking for repos to help with architecture. At some point I thought why am I going to GitHub when GitHub should be coming to me. That was [Repoverse](https://www.repoverse.space/). You fill in what you're working on, it recommends repos actually relevant to you. No following, no budget. So I went on Reddit and just shared useful repos in communities where developers already hung out. No pitch, just genuinely useful posts with a small line at the bottom saying if you want more like this, I built something for that. Week one, 3 to 4k visitors. Month and a half in I opened analytics and stared at the screen. 75% of my users were on mobile and I'd been building desktop first the whole time. Launched a PWA to test demand, people downloaded it, so I built the iOS app. Without a Mac or iPhone. Codemagic handled the build, RevenueCat for payments, Supabase for backend. App Store rejected me twice. Both times had real reasons and real fixes once I stopped being annoyed about it. Looking back, design is not optional, not quitting when things feel impossible, and talking to users like a real person. Every product decision came from those conversations. If you're stuck on any part of this, happy to share what I know. https://reddit.com/link/1rnerij/video/q0y4j4ofknng1/player
