Pretty sure most developers have thought about this when building their open-source projects and then after a while realizing that their project go...

Count me in as the 53th star for doomcode. I would say I am always happy to see people star my repository. Why? Because they probably like my code or my contribution and they want to give it back, or to remember later on to visit.
Seeing github.com/trungk18/jira-clone-ang... growing from 4 stars among my dearest friend to a few hundred within days was really a journey that I have never experience 🤣
Teach me! I started a project in February and I haven't reached 1k stars yet, close but not reached yet.
Where did you share your project?
I think if you code something that people are looking to see, they will not hesitate to give you a star. Also, prepare a detailed README with as many screenshots as you can.
I built that with Angular and I shared it on:
Luckily, It got the attention from people and some of them are quite famous among Angular community. They also retweeted about my project and that's how it is crossing a thousand stars 😂 Count me as the 941th star yeah. But in exchange, you have to star mine 😎Just kidding and good luck!
The project is this: github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles
The main issue is visibility since it's an alternative to Particles.js (it's a Typescript rewrite with new features and bugfix tbh) there's a lot of articles/tutorial for the other project so it's hard for mine to gain visibility.
Many projects around particles.js are abandoned but this doesn't help much having visibility.
I tried getting some attention but I miss the big retweets. At least I'm having a lot of fun working with this project 😄
Yeah as long as you are happy working on that, that's enough. Maybe tag some famous fork when you tweet next time, ask for their opinion then?
When I start the first line of Jira clone, I wouldn't image one day I will have a thousand star repo 😂 Anyway, I followed you on twitter. Looking for your next project man.
Same, I also star things I think I will use in the future
Stars are our means of payment: the more we get, the more we like to continue the project. If we don’t get stars (and we don’t just make the project for ourselves), we’ll probably abandon it because we feel like no one is using it.
We hope not! hahhahaha
We hope downloads don't matter either... because - what do they mean?
For example - you download Ember.js once - and make a project that lasts 4 years... vs - you Download React 27 times - and never finish anything.
Now, if we could tell how many things were active... and then actually measure things - that would be interesting.
I'm a GitLab user instead, but this post made me chuckle. +1 heart.
Yep I use stars like bookmarks and also as a way to gauge how popular a project is.
Ah nice, seems like everyone uses the stars as a measure of popularity and quality.
If you're making anything and you're just in it for the stars, likes, hearts, unicorns, whatever - then you're doing it for the wrong reasons
I understand they can play a role in one's project visibility, but to be honest every new star (particularly on this) makes my day 😄
Same, I generally discover cool things when I revisit my stars.
Well GitHub stars are like YouTube likes!
If someone likes your project and repo, you'll get a star (if he needs)
