StarSearch is our AI-powered feature that provides in-depth insights into contributor history and activities, bringing transparency and a new depth of knowledge about open source projects.
Congrats on the launch @bdougieyo ! I just queried for some of the top contributors for one repo I was interested in and got good insights. I like how it not just shows the list, but a glimpse of their contributions, and an insight at the end
@sudhamabhatia, I appreciate you testing it out. We have a PR open to add some extra functionality soon. It should get merged later today, let us know if you have any other feedback. https://github.com/open-sauced/a...
I normally spend hours in my week hunting for guests on CodingCat.dev podcast. Now I can find people so much easier.
For example I gave this prompt today:
"Who can I interview on my podcast CodingCat.dev about typescript projects that are trending"
And got back:
Here are several contributors to trending TypeScript projects that would make excellent guests on your podcast:
@anonrig:
Project: getsentry/sentry
Contribution: Added more TypeScript rules to improve type checking and code quality.
Summary: Anonrig submitted a pull request to enforce stricter TypeScript rules in the Sentry codebase, adding the @types/jest and ts-jest packages, and creating a new test suite.
@Lightning00Blade:
Project: puppeteer/puppeteer
Contribution: Improved test reliability and added TypeScript types.
Summary: Lightning00Blade worked on reducing test flakiness and adding TypeScript types, improving the development experience for those using TypeScript with Puppeteer.
@ScreamZ:
Project: amannn/next-intl
Contribution: Updated documentation for TypeScript usage.
Summary: ScreamZ enhanced the next-intl project documentation, offering better guidance on how to use TypeScript within the project.
@jakebailey:
Projects:
microsoft/TypeScript-Website
microsoft/TypeScript
Contributions:
Forced TypeScript to emit .d.ts files and linked changes with Microsoft's monaco-editor.
Updated dependencies, switching back to TypeScript's bundler from esbuild.
Summary: Jake Bailey has been active in both updating dependencies and linking TypeScript changes, focusing on improving the TypeScript development environment and its tooling.
You can reach out to these contributors to share their insights and experiences on working with TypeScript on trending repositories.
@alex_patterson wow, incredible use case: so glad you're already getting value from it!

Starsearch is a pretty cool feature! I can definitely see myself using it in the future when I want to maintain my own projects. Congratulations on the launch @bdougieyo
@bonvisions we've just launched the product, but there's wide application for anyone in open source, IMO. As it stands today, the open source ecosystem can feel pretty disconnected. Theoretically, we know that there are maintainers, contributors, and projects out there that are incredibly talented and innovative, but finding them can feel impossible. StarSearch makes this easier. And with 90% of companies using open source software, it's definitely useful to understand who is keeping open source projects alive or has the experience to be able to answer questions. This is just the beginning.
@bonvisions, thats a good question. I spent the last two years working alongside engineers and customers, building our first product, OpenSauced. Our feedback from there is that our customers ask the same questions about open source monthly. I can show you how this hit 100m ARR and clear market size in a pitch deck, but the TBH hat is the secret sauce.
