Open-source startups gaining stars fastest.

The 50 projects in the directory that gained the most GitHub stars between 2026-08-25 and 2026-09-22 — 28 days, not 30, because the samples behind this table are weekly and we would rather name the window than round it. Stars are a measure of attention, not of revenue, quality or whether anyone is still pushing code; the last column is the one this site actually checks.

Window 2026-08-25 → 2026-09-22 · star counts and ship status as of the snapshot of 2026-09-22 · 123 of 721 repos have no second sample yet and are not ranked. How we measure it →

The tide table

Top 50 by stars gained.

What else changed this week →

History on OSSEAN began on 2026-08-11 and is sampled once a week, so there are 7 columns behind every line here and no sample between them. A project that joined the directory recently shows no delta rather than a guessed one: with a single measurement there is nothing to subtract, and inventing a baseline would make the newest arrivals look like the fastest climbers.
