This is great! It would be really helpful if it had some measure of the number of users (stars?) and a contributor count. It's pretty hard to determine which of these projects are going to stick around. Total length of time under active development and percentage of code committed by agents would also be informative.

But that would reflect poorly on my own project ;-) More seriously you're absolutely right, I'll see if I can find some time this weekend to get that done
Stars are a very very poor metric to measure against.

There are projects that have no stars that may be great and projects that have a high star count and are absolute garbage (because you can fake stars)

I tend to look at the commits, contributors, closed/open issue count ratio and the changelog.
