- Recruiters and technical sourcers tracking which languages/frameworks are gaining developer mindshare
- Investors and market researchers watching adoption signals for AI/dev-tool categories
- Developers who want a simple daily feed of what's trending, without checking the site manually

{"rank": 1,"repository": "vectorize-io/hindsight","url": "https://github.com/vectorize-io/hindsight","description": "Hindsight: Agent Memory That Learns","language": "Python","totalStars": 32272,"totalForks": 3582,"starsToday": 2147,"since": "daily","scrapedAt": "2026-09-27T09:15:00+00:00"}
Notes
- Pulls directly from GitHub's public trending HTML page — no authentication needed, so it's low-risk to run on a schedule.
- Pair with Apify Schedules to get a daily trending snapshot automatically, or Webhooks to push new results into Slack/Discord/a database.
- GitHub's page markup can change without notice — if this stops returning results, that's the first thing to check.
