Fasthub: Feature Request: Exploring Github

[beshology]

A feature that allows us to explore Github.com by trending repositories by day, week, month and/or language

[GeorgeWL]

Last I heard, despite many apps over the years asking for it to be exposed to API, Github Explore isn't actually in the API.

Maybe things changed?

[k0shk0sh]

@GeorgeWL nope, nothing has changed. the API isn't provided yet.

Jesus, the last I looked was 3 years ago. Github are shit at listening to user requests.

[k0shk0sh]

@GeorgeWL Idk about that to be honest, me and @kutsan have emailed them few times concerning about some API's they were helpful even tho, they will say, we can't promise you that (which mean they will never do) but yea, they don't care much and I don't think their API has any higher priority.

@k0shk0sh
What about scraping those pages?
I didn't dive into this app source yet,
And I guess it doesn't require any server,
But I will love to help with crawl the trending and explore pages.

@eyalcohen4 that would be cool, I really could use some help in here as I start to struggle with all the feature requests & fixes that I need to do in short time. you could join our slack channel from the badge in readme to help you with whatever questions you have.

@eyalcohen4 @GeorgeWL @beshology alright guys, this will be in next release.
