Feature request: It would be very useful if the ranking tool allowed users to specify a minimum star count threshold (for example, only include languages/packages with at least 50 k stars) so that extremely niche languages with very few followers don’t clutter the list.
Use case: As a developer exploring emerging languages, I often want to focus on languages/packages that have significant traction (e.g., > 30 k stars). Without a filter, the table includes all languages and some entries drop very low, making the table long and less focused.
Proposed interface:
Add a CLI/flag --min-stars to the script that generates the ranking.
Add a UI dropdown in the README (or documentation) that explains “Show only languages with at least N stars”.
Benefits:
Cleaner ranking lists with higher signal-to-noise ratio.
Easier for new users to find actively trending languages/packages.
Considerations:
The default behaviour should remain unchanged (i.e., include all languages) so as not to break existing users.
Document the filter in the CONTRIBUTING.md or script README.
Thanks again f
