Show HN: GitHub Multi-Topic Explorer: A Tool for Multiple Topics Searches
5
5If you've ever tried to explore GitHub topics and found that the platform doesn't exactly let you explore repositories that span multiple topics, you're not alone. While GitHub allows you to search by a single topic, it doesn't natively provide a way to search for repositories at the intersection of multiple topics. That can make it hard to discover more nuanced projects that fall into overlapping areas of interest.
To solve this, I’ve developed GitHub Topics Explorer. This allows you to combine multiple topics and explore the repositories that match all of those topics, giving you much more granular results in your search for perfect tool , framework or app.
Key Features: Multi-Topic Search: Combine multiple topics (e.g., machine-learning + deep-learning + python) to find repositories that fit all of your search criteria. Granular Filtering: Focus on more specific intersections of topics and discover projects that you wouldn’t find with single-topic searches. Simple Interface: Just input your topics and hit search to get a refined list of repositories that fit your criteria.
Why This Is Useful: Better Discovery: For developers who are interested in niche or specific intersections of technologies (e.g., blockchain + machine-learning), this tool enables more precise exploration than GitHub’s built-in search. Targeted Research: Researchers, hobbyists, and developers can now more easily find repositories that align with a multi-faceted set of interests, improving the chances of discovering useful or related projects.
Community and Collaboration: Finding repositories at the intersection of multiple topics can foster collaboration between people working on similar but distinct areas of interest.
Example Use Cases: Searching for repositories that deal with both WebAssembly and Rust. Finding machine learning projects that also incorporate Natural Language Processing (NLP). Exploring open-source software that spans both data-science and cloud-computing.
If you're someone who’s limited by GitHub's current topic search, give this tool a try and let me know what you think! I’d love feedback, suggestions, and ideas for how to make it even more useful.
Feel free to play around with the search functionality. I present to you the Triton for Repo Searches! Happy coding!
