After only 3,5 months FossifyOrg (2086, https://github.com/FossifyOrg) has more GitHub followers than SimpleMobileTools (2078, https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools).

It is really encouraging to see this fork gain traction after the great Simple Mobile Tools Android apps were sold to an adware company and stopped being open source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38505229. Thanks for all the work Naveen Singh (https://github.com/naveensingh / @naveenyc) and others to make the fork already this popular. I really hope there will be enough funds for Naveen to start working full-time on Fossify. I've setup a recurring donation and hope others who can will contribute as well (https://github.com/FossifyOrg#support-fossify-heart).
