Partial The presentation layer (articles, CSV downloads, queries) is easy to build, but the core asset is a 32.6M-repository dataset that requires large-scale crawling and careful sampling, which needs real data infrastructure and research-grade methodology.
What it would actually take: Pull repository metadata from GitHub Archive/BigQuery or the GitHub API with rate-limit-aware crawlers, store it in a columnar database such as DuckDB or Parquet on object storage, and publish reproducible SQL and CSV exports. The hard parts are the cost and engineering of collecting and deduplicating tens of millions of records, and the statistical and methodological rigor needed for credible research claims about fake stars and benchmarks.
