OSSInsight

OSSInsight is a free analytics platform for open source software on GitHub. According to the page, it tracks over 10 billion GitHub events in real time and provides insights into repositories, developers, and organizations, including stars, commits, pull requests, issues, contributors, and community health metrics. The page also offers a Data Explorer, trending repositories, curated Hot Collections of technical rankings and trends, a Languages section, a blog, a workshop, and an API. The page notes that star-based trending rankings are currently paused because GitHub changed its public events feed pagination, causing under-captured star, pull request, and issue events since mid-2025; history before May 2025, repository totals synced directly from GitHub, and commit activity are stated to be unaffected. The page states it is sponsored by TiDB Cloud and built with the GitHub REST API, GH Archive, Apache ECharts, React, and TypeScript.
