Unsurprising, in my usage of GitHub, I'm usually completely disinterested in what others are doing. Maybe they could occasionally feature really interesting hand-picked projects.


I’m interested in changes that happen to open source libraries that I care about, but I don’t understand the social aspect beyond that.
