Thanks! Yeah, I think project/contributor discovery are closely related to this, but I haven't built that part yet since I want to get the basic community model right first. One reason I wanted communities to be tied to repos is that, over time, you get a much better signal than stars alone. Out of curiosity, was the bigger problem for you finding contributors for your own project, or finding interesting projects to contribute to?

Kinda both, there are so many projects that I care about and I could contribute too, but the hardest part is just getting your first few contributions, or finding a project where community is now that big enough, so you can reach out to people directly, instead of just being a 'contributor'
