The ranking algorithm

Placement you can read, not buy

Order in the Market is driven by a transparent Signal Score. 7 weighted factors — most of them pulled live from GitHub — combine into a 0–100 number shown on every listing. A paid Featured Boost can lift a listing by at most 35% — it amplifies real signal, it never fabricates it.

  • Repository traction22%

    Real GitHub momentum — stars, forks, and watchers pulled live from the connected repo. Log-scaled so early repos still register.

  • Bullish signal18%

    How many members marked the project as one they believe in. Weighted by the reputation of the voter.

  • Codebase depth18%

    Commit volume, contributor count, a real README, and a declared license — the objective signs of a substantial repository.

  • Maintenance freshness16%

    Recency of the last commit. Actively maintained repos decay slower and rank higher.

  • Collaboration intent12%

    Volume of collaboration interest — open roles, applications, and partnership requests.

  • Community engagement8%

    Discussion, feedback threads, and accepted suggestions on the project's page.
