Why these Tags: an agent read the README and quoted it
- Graph database from the readme:
Model entities, relationships, and typed properties as a labeled property graph.
- Vector database from the readme:
Vectors are properties on nodes and edges, indexed natively
- Search engine from the readme:
BM25 keyword search over node and edge properties.
- Embedded database from the readme:
To run HelixDB inside your own process without a server, use embedded mode.
An agent gave these Tags from the fixed Tag list in the AwesomeRepos source code. A code check kept each Tag only when its quote is in the text. A wrong Tag? Report an error with the form at the end of this page.

Star History

The star count of each day is the latest count minus the net stars of the later days.
Add this Star History to a README
The images follow the light or dark theme of the page that shows them, and update every hour.
Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark
to the chart address to keep one theme.

The timeline comes from the creation date and the releases on the Repository Host, the Admission, the Star History, and the Observations. Star milestones show only when the Star History records the day. The list shows up to 5 stable releases from the latest 10 releases recorded. When none of them is stable, one item counts the pre-releases. On the chart of net stars each day, a solid line marks each recorded release.

Health facts
Measured facts in four separate dimensions, each with a date and a source. AwesomeRepos does not add them into one score. AwesomeRepos reads the weekly commits, the changelog, and the community files each week for the 5,000 visible repositories with the most stars and for each rising repository.
