Velocity Cards
Repositories heating up, rendered as something you would actually post.
Did you like it?
Why it ended. Not enough engagement. Its daily card existed to feed the Signal from the Void post, and it drew no measurable attention of its own; it goes with the cron that produced it.
- What it does
- Repositories gaining speed on GitHub, rendered daily as cards you could post. Acceleration, not popularity.
- Who it is for
- For anyone who wants to see what is about to be popular, not what already is.
