What it does

Maintains a living Coda tracker of open-source projects in the topics you care about. Instead of relying on the global trending list, it searches GitHub for your specific keywords (e.g., "vector database", "agent framework"), scores each match on recent growth, and keeps the tracker rows in sync.

When to use it

Use it when you watch a defined niche rather than all of GitHub — analysts tracking a category, founders monitoring competitor tooling, or teams curating a build-vs-buy shortlist.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires on your chosen cadence.
  2. 2A GitHub action runs a search query per watchlist keyword and returns matching repos with star and update metadata.
  3. 3A logic step scores each repo on recent star growth and recency, then drops low-signal matches below threshold.
  4. 4A Coda action reads existing tracker rows to find new versus known repos.
  5. 5A Coda output step upserts each qualifying repo, updating growth scores on existing rows and inserting new finds.
