It aims at increasing the discoverability of useful forks of open-source projects. Simply type a repository's URL in the Text Field. The criteria is simple: if a fork was created, but never received any other activity on its master branch, it is filtered out. Adding a sorted list of starred forks to the GitHub forks page. Results are filtered out if there were never any commits pushed on the main branch since the fork was created. This is meant to help increase the discoverability of useful forks of open-source projects. Sometimes, a project might be abandoned, or someone had a different idea of how it should be implemented... and when you go looking for those interesting forks, you find yourself searching through potentially hundreds of them. This tool is here to help you discover the hidden jewels you were looking for!
