Cool. But how is it different from Github's own https://github.com/stars ?

It was announced a few months ago https://github.com/blog/1236-searching-and-filtering-stars

you can add tags, instead of just searching based on language (and description). Hopefully as things begin the flesh out, you will be able to more easily find other similar repos and repos of interest (through the "similar repos by tags" and "similar repos by stars"/"users who star this repo all star these other repos" functionality).

Very soon, besides being able to sort by popularity/star count, you will be able to sort (and search) by created date, updated date, and forks.

Also, there have been some requests to make this more service agnostic outside of just github.

So those are some points that hopefully make it more useful than github's current search functionality.

There GitHub doesn't offer a way to sort by the number of stars or even see the number of stars.
It adds tags, for one thing. Not sure if there is more.
