About · Our story

We are a trend radar for open source.

Our mission is to surface breakout open-source repositories, MCP servers, and Claude skills the moment they ship. We track signals from GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News, ProductHunt, Bluesky, dev.to, and arXiv, and we rank them by cross-source agreement so you can see what is moving before it trends.

The team

TrendingRepo is built and maintained by an independent founder team. The credentials behind the project: a decade of experience shipping production systems for ingestion pipelines, search infrastructure, and developer-facing APIs. We treat this site as a research tool first; the leadership commitment is to keep the front page free of paywalls and the API public.

What we publish

• A live momentum index across 7+ data sources, refreshed every 3 hours.
• A public REST API and a Portal v0.1 manifest exposing the same tools over JSON-RPC 2.0.
• A zero-dependency CLI (Node 18+) for terminal use, and an MCP server for Claude or any agent.
• An llms.txt index for AI crawlers, with a full variant covering the entire site map.
