GitHub Trend Radar is a website that turns the daily flood of trending GitHub projects into something readable for people who are not developers. Instead of copying the plain GitHub Trending page, it translates each open source project into a short explanation aimed at different professional audiences, such as AI practitioners, social media managers, programmers, marketers, public relations people, legal and compliance staff, finance people, designers, and operations managers.

The front page shows a public ranking with no login, no favoriting, and no submission form, keeping it simple. You can switch between daily, monthly, and all time rankings, and filter by which professional field you care about. Each project entry shows its rank, repository name, a plain business style explanation in Chinese, how many stars it gained in that period, its total stars, programming language, last update time, a link to GitHub, and relevant tags.

The site runs on a static data file that lists the rankings, and it comes with a script that can pull candidate repositories from the GitHub search API and rebuild that same data file. The script compares against saved daily snapshots to calculate how many stars a project gained recently, so the very first run always shows zero new stars until a second snapshot exists to compare against. Providing a GitHub access token raises the API rate limit for this step.

The project also ships a ready made GitHub Actions workflow that regenerates the rankings and redeploys the site automatically every day, as well as on every push to the main branch, and it can be triggered manually too. Setting it up just means enabling GitHub Pages with GitHub Actions as the source. The project is released under the MIT license.
