Stars, labels, freshness, and discussion activity all factor into a simple, inspectable score. No AI, no magic — just fast filtering of the GitHub issue firehose.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Photon101/hubsignal.git\ncd hubsignal\nuv run python -m hubsignal --limit 10\n```\n\n## What You Get\n\n```\n score    stars  repo                              issue\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────\n  84.2      824  openjournals/joss-reviews         [REVIEW]: MaterForge: Materials Formulation Engine\n                                                   https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/9909\n\n  72.1    20473  microsoft/onnxruntime             Handle empty initializers gracefully in optimizer passes\n                                                   https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/pull/27976\n\n  58.8      120  Consensys/linea-monorepo          [ZkTracer] Add test cases for blake.rs implementation\n                                                   https://github.com/Consensys/linea-monorepo/pull/3011\n```\n\nEach issue gets a score from 0–100. Higher scores mean the issue is in an active, starred repo with useful labels and recent activity — the kind of issue where your contribution matters.\n\n## Features\n\n| Flag | What it does |\n|---|---|\n| `--min-stars N` | Only show repos with ≥N stars |\n| `--exclude-archived` | Skip archived repositories |\n| `--exclude-forks` | Skip forked repositories |\n| `--exclude-bounty-like` | Filter out token promotions, star-for-reward, crypto noise |\n| `--bounty-only` | Oppose of above — only show issues with bounties/rewards |\n| `--exclude-repo OWNER/NAME` | Exclude specific repos (repeatable) |\n| `--exclude-title-regex PATTERN` | Filter by title regex |\n| `--pushed-after YYYY-MM-DD` | Only repos active after this date |\n| `--format text\\|json\\|markdown` | Output as plain text, JSON, or Markdown report |\n| `--limit N` | Number of issues to scan (1–100) |\n\n## Real Use Cases\n\n**Finding your first open-source contribution:**\n```bash\nhubsignal --query 'is:issue is:open label:\"good first issue\" label:documentation' \\\n  --min-stars 20 --exclude-archived --exclude-forks --exclude-bounty-like\n```\n\n**Hunting paid bounties:**\n```bash\nhubsignal --bounty-only --query 'label:bounty is:issue is:open' --limit 20\n```\n\n**Weekly planning report:**\n```bash\nhubsignal --limit 30 --format markdown \u003e weekly-scout-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md\n```\n\n**JSON export for your own tooling:**\n```bash\nhubsignal --format json | jq '.issues[] | {repo, url, score}'\n```\n\n## How Scoring Works\n\n```\nscore = 20 (base)\n      + min(35, log10(stars + 1) × 9)   ← repo popularity\n      + max(0, 18 − age_days × 0.35)     ← issue freshness\n      + min(10, log2(comments + 1) × 2)  ← discussion activity\n      + 10 (if \"help wanted\" label)\n      + 6  (if \"good first issue\" label)\n      + 12 (if bounty/reward label)\n      + 3  (if bug label)\n```\n\nFully inspectable. No hidden weights. No AI. No API keys needed.\n\n## Authentication\n\nGitHub limits unauthenticated API requests. For best results:\n\n```bash\nexport GH_TOKEN=your_github_token\n# or install gh CLI and login:\ngh auth login\n```\n\n`hubsignal` checks `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, then `gh auth token` — in that order.\n\n## Install\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Photon101/hubsignal.git\ncd hubsignal\nuv run python -m hubsignal --help\n```\n\nZero dependencies at runtime. pytest is optional for development.\n\n## Why I Built This\n\nI spent hours manually scrolling GitHub issue search looking for good first contributions. The signal-to-noise ratio is terrible — most issues are stale, claimed, or in dead repos. `hubsignal` cuts that first hour of scanning into a 30-second command.\n\n## Sponsor\n\nIf `hubsignal` saves you time finding open-source work, consider [sponsoring on GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/Photon101). Sponsorship funds sustained development and keeps the tool dependency-free and focused.\n\n[![GitHub Sponsors](https://img.shields.io/badge/Sponsor-%E2%9D%A4-%23ea4aaa)](https://github.com/sponsors/Photon101)\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphoton101%2Fhubsignal","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fphoton101%2Fhubsignal","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fphoton101%2Fhubsignal/lists"}
