It seems like you could set up a webhook to trigger a Travis CI rebuild upon a new star event [0] . I'm pretty iffy on this, any ideas?. You probably need some third-party service to trigger the rebuild [1]. Obviously running your own server would make this much easier. https://github.com/no13bus/ohmyrepo is one such example. From there it would be straightforward to generate and deploy the new README.md from Travis CI [2].
