Show HN: Repomance: I made a Tinder like app that you can discover & star repos

3 points| masterpos | 1 month ago |apps.apple.com

Hi everyone,

Repomance is an app for discovering curated and trending repositories. Swipe to star them directly using your GitHub account. It is currently available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. I plan to develop an Android version once the app reaches 100 users.

Repomance is open source: https://github.com/mpospirit-apps/Repomance-iOS

All feedback is welcome, hope you enjoy using it.

Great idea overall. I'm sure you'll reach 100 users soon (android user here) Do you index all repos in a cadence and then let users swipe from a pool, or is it real time GitHub api calling?

Thank you. The app has two sections: curated and trending. Curated repositories are prefetched and stored in the database. Trending repositories are fetched daily via the GitHub Search API and subsequently stored. This process enriches the repository pool and allows the backend to index each repo. Whenever a user interacts with a repository (star or pass), the action is saved; this ensures the same repository is not displayed twice.
