Discussion on: Should the Quality of GitHub Projects Be Evaluated by Their Star Count?

I use stars as bookmarks and when I review a project later on, if it's not useful or if it becomes part of my toolbox usually I remove the star 🤔

I would add the ability to write a changelog. I get increasingly frustrated by libraries without a changelog, I don't want to read a bunch of diffs to figure out what's changed. It's not a metric of quality per se but it's a signal the author cares about the users and probably a sign there's no rush in the release process.
