Velocity Cards

Paste a GitHub repository URL, compute a momentum score, and export a themed card designed for reposts, embeds, and signal-sharing.

Admin Only

Velocity card generation is restricted to administrators. The public archive and export surfaces remain viewable.

What Is This?

Velocity Cards reframes repository popularity as momentum, not vanity. Instead of treating stars as the whole story, it combines contributor energy, commit activity, and issue/PR flow into a compact score.

The result is an exportable artifact: one card, three themes, one opinion about whether a repo is merely popular or genuinely heating up.

Scoring Model

Velocity v1

Commits over 7 days, unique contributors, issues, and PRs form the mature baseline, while repositories younger than one week can receive additional star-velocity weight before the result is log-normalized to 0-100.
