OSS insights
A live data dashboard for the 227 self-host repos we track. Regenerated on every deploy.
Each section below diffs the live GitHub state against our latest monthly snapshot (—). No human edits this page; it just shows whatever the data says today. Subscribe via the /insights/feed.xml RSS feed or hit /api/insights.json for the structured version.
For a narrative read of the same corpus, see State of Self-Host 2026 — same data, story-shaped.
- snapshot fetch threw: fetch failed
What moved since — 0
Compares each repo's current GitHub state to the — snapshot. Health flips (alive→stale→dead) cross thresholds; "freshly committed" is anything that shipped a new commit since the snapshot — they tend to dominate when the snapshot is recent.
No classification flips yet — snapshot is too recent for any repo to have crossed the alive/stale/dead thresholds. Sub-rail below catches the in-flight activity.
Fastest-growing OSS alternatives 0
Star delta between the — snapshot and the current build. Reads as "X new stars since the last scan".
Nothing yet. Cold-start: with only one snapshot in the table, deltas are tiny — this section fills out after the next monthly snapshot lands.
