Hmm, that is an interesting idea.
The plugin does have at least part of that data (i.e. the first page sorted by stars) and it can be stored/refreshed in local storage.
I'll include it in the next iteration with a few other features.
Thanks!
PS: Link to the actual list of forks: https://github.com/chunksnbits/jquery-quickfit/network/members
Might also be worth removing stars by the author themselves from the count? IMO a fork with 1 star is pretty different to a fork with 1 star from the author of that fork.
Would it be possible to also include commit count in that list (ahead/behind of master) to see if it's actually being developed?
That is a good suggestion @dovry.
However, the commit count is misleading if there have been commits both on the original repository as well as on the fork, resulting in a divergence. Hence, Lovely Forks guesses which of the two repositories is more up to date by looking at the latest time they were pushed_at
.
See #13 for a more detailed discussion behind this decision.
What I understand there are three feature requests in this ticket
Currently, this plugin displays "the most prominent fork". When there are more than one potential forks, I would like to evaluate them... The best support for me would be to see the stars at all other forks at the fork page.
Example: https://github.com/chunksnbits/jquery-quickfit
I think, there is another "good" fork. How can I see it at the list of forks?
