About Repo Reality Check

37,000 stars. One contributor. Zero releases. Would you bet a weekend on that repo? Repo Reality Check adds an instant credibility score (0–100) to every GitHub repository you visit — computed the moment the page loads, from GitHub's own public data. WHAT IT CHECKS - Star anomalies — star velocity compared against commits, contributors and repo age, with burst detection on suspicious growth - Bus factor — how much of the project depends on a single maintainer - Maintenance pulse — last commit, release/tag cadence, archived status - README red flags — affiliate links and hype phrasing patterns - License warnings — plain-language notes, including copyleft (AGPL) implications before you build on a project commercially HOW IT WORKS Open any GitHub repo and a compact panel appears above the code listing: the score, the top flags, and an expandable breakdown showing the raw numbers behind every deduction. A score is a prompt to look closer — every flag shows its evidence so you can judge for yourself. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No accounts. No analytics. No servers. All analysis runs locally in your browser against GitHub's public API. Your optional GitHub token (for higher rate limits) is stored only on your device. FOR WHO Developers evaluating dependencies, engineers vetting open-source before it enters the codebase, and anyone tired of judging repositories by their star count. Free to use. Pro features (scores on search results and Trending, repo comparison, watchlists) coming soon. Questions: reprealitycheck@gmail.com · https://ayoublidjici-dotcom.github.io/
