About trending
- How does GraphCanon compute trending tools?
- Trending ranks published tools by 30-day GitHub star delta from our append-only metric history. It reflects recent visibility and community attention, not product quality or editorial endorsement.
- Is trending the same as best or recommended?
- No. A high star velocity can mean hype, a launch, or a migration wave. Use category pages, compare pages, alternatives hubs, and trust reports when making stack decisions.
- How often is the trending list updated?
- The page revalidates hourly and reads live metric snapshots from the database. Tools without enough history show no 30-day delta until snapshots accumulate.
- Can a tool appear on trending without being safe or maintained?
- Yes. Trending ignores maintenance labels and security scans. Check each tool's trust report and GitHub archive status before adopting it in production.
- Is there a machine-readable trending list?
- Yes. Append
.mdto /trending for a markdown twin, or fetch /api/graphcanon/tools with sort parameters supported by the JSON API. The RSS feed also surfaces recent graph activity.
