Currently in its very early stages, but it'll be a useful resource to identify slopified garbage and get it out of your life.

As an update, the original author received sufficient negative feedback and abuse that they’ve closed the repo and decided to give open source and social media a bit of a rest for the foreseeable future. Hopefully the projects they’ve created and been working on will live on, but it is quite a loss to the community either way.

    That's unfortunate. I think this was a little reactionary to percieved moral panic around AI, but there is both value, to me at least, in their meticulus measuring of ALL ways AI had touched projects, and in tracking high impact dependencies.

    I hope someone has a copy.
