Tips for GitHub Star Growth

GitHub stars are a good metric for the popularity of open-source projects.

We launched Constellation (https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation) in September and reached 400+ stars in three weeks. Not bad, but also not extraordinary.

ToolJet has a nice blog post about ways to get more stars on GitHub: https://blog.tooljet.com/12-ways-to-get-more-github-stars-for-your-open-source-projects/
I'd say it's pretty on point and we pretty much did all of the things they mention. (They've been a bit more successful ofc)

I would love to hear about your experience! Do you have any tips and tricks for gaining open-source momentum and converting visitors to stargazers?
