stars (or equivalent)
an equivalent to github’s stars would be useful, as a method for gaging a project’s popularity. it could also be used for finding popular projects across the network.

Hey, thanks for the interest and writing the issue!
Something that we’ve found to be equivalent to stars, and might be an even more interesting concept, is seeding a repository. Not only are you saying that repository is important to you, but you’re also willing to replicate it for the rest of the network.
Just wanted to chime in with my 2cts; The concept of seeding is more powerful than stars. A star is a one time click, maybe the readme was cute or you found the project interesting, but you don’t (usually) go back to revise all your starred repos. What I mean is that a star is a one time action, seeding a repo is a constant. It carries more weight and it is also slightly harder to abuse than starts.
Also, it might incentivice people to seed more repos if we convert it into the default token of appreciation. Idk.
