forkfreshness seems like a really nice idea.

I have a repo[0] where I would like to check how active any of the forks are, just to see what they have done with the project, and/or speak with them about contributing upstream. I noticed that just adjusting the URL[1] did not work, however since running this website is costing your money, I don't feel comfortable asking you to add it.

Is there any chance you would feel comfortable open sourcing the code? (It can even be under some kind of fair-code license)

well, the bad news is Fork Freshness would probably decline to analyze this repo, because it's got very recent commits. the other bad news is that I'm not currently planning to open source it.

but the good news is that I could maybe change its recency rules, and the other good news is that it costs me money whether people use it or not, and I want people to use it, so please feel absolutely free. it's intended as a kind of public service.

Did you try

> Just tweet the GitHub URL to @ForkFreshness on Twitter.

as instructed on the front page? It seems like he's inviting people to use it.

Send a message on a closed-source social media platform for my source code on a closed-source Git forge. That will be a nope.
