How this works
Visualise your open-source project's performance metrics effortlessly on a Smashing dashboard, gaining instant insights into Docker pulls, stars, npm downloads, GitHub watchers, and forks without manual tracking. This workflow suits developers and project maintainers who need real-time visibility into community engagement to inform updates and promotions. It begins with a scheduled cron trigger that fetches data via HTTP requests from GitHub and other APIs, processes it, and pushes the results to your Smashing display for a dynamic overview.
Use this workflow for daily or hourly monitoring of project popularity in a self-hosted setup with Smashing already running. Avoid it if you require ad-hoc queries or integrations beyond HTTP and GitHub, such as direct database pulls. Common variations include adjusting the cron schedule for more frequent updates or adding filters to highlight specific metrics like recent changes in stars.
