It&amp;#x27;s brilliant.</text></comment>
<story><title>Show HN: GitHub Trending Repos</title><url>https://github.com/vitalets/github-trending-repos</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>ryanianian</author><text>Seems kinda cool - works by updating a GH issue per language and you subscribe to updates on the issue. But seems that the issues have been locked and not updated since November without explanation as to why.&lt;p&gt;Hence cool idea but not actually what it says on the tin for the moment.&lt;p&gt;[edit]: isn&amp;#x27;t true the GH UI just wasn&amp;#x27;t rendering the most recent updates for me. Viewing the issue pages themselves not so useful but subscribing to the issue is really the intended usage anyhow.</text></comment>
