thanks for sharing. some of the highlights we found interesting:

* Growth rate of new repos doubled in 2025 (driven by AI?) * Microsoft leads Big Tech in repo creation, contrary to narrative the company is closed * a16z captured nearly as much OSS value as all other early-stage VCs combined

Also, AI repos since 2023 have seen an outsized share of attention relative to other categories of repo (as measured by GitHub stars). This is not surprising, but interesting to see it playing out in the data.

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025) on Monday April 28, 2025 @04:47PM (#43825933)
I've been meaning to build a Stripe app to experiment with their UI SDK, which allows you to extend the Stripe dashboard interface with custom code. I took a go at it with a Customer Enrichment app: https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/hybound-enrichment and got a couple of installs!

Show HN: A free Stripe app to see what companies your customers work at

I built a small Stripe app that enriches customer data directly in the Stripe UI. If a customer signs up with a work email, the app looks up their company, industry, estimated size, etc. from a firmographic database and shows it in a sidebar when you view the customer.It also gives you a breakdown chart of all your customers by industry. I'm working on a couple other facets and filters too.No...

I just developed and launched my first Stripe "dashboard app" (https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps) - which is a way Stripe allows developers to embed custom UIs in the Stripe dashboard and distribute through an app marketplace. I thought this was pretty cool, so I wanted to give it a shot.

The app helps you understand your customers by automatically researching firmographic information and recent news about the companies buying your product - if the customer uses a work email. It uses the new OpenAI Responses API to do the research - so results are not always correct, but working on it! This is especially true for smaller companies that may not have much public information available.

It's basic for now - but it allows you to answer simple questions about who's buying your product, and gives you a starting point to find out more about them.

The app is free, and I have more features planned, including aggregate reporting over all customers, to answer deeper questions like:

* What industries do our best customers come from? * Do we sell more to large companies or small companies? * What's our ICP? * What's the geographic breakdown of our customers this month?

etc...

I'd love to know what people think - I'm open to feedback and would love to tailor the next set of features based on specific requests. So please let me know if there are workflows or insights you'd like to be able to see using this information. Thanks!

This is such a cool tool. It's a better approach to solving many of the questions I built MergeStat to answer (https://github.com/mergestat/mergestat-lite). It's been some time, but I also wrote a `git blame ...` parser in Go: https://github.com/mergestat/gitutils/blob/main/blame/blame.... :)

Amazing work and excited to dig into this more thoroughly
