Keep trust-building context reachable, but behind the first data read instead of ahead of it.
How to use this category view
Category pages are most useful when you compare similar kinds of projects rather than treating the top row as an automatic recommendation list. Look at star concentration, language mix, and recent activity together to decide whether a category is dominated by a few established leaders or by a broader set of active tools.
Ranking methodology
We track repositories tagged with "api" and rank by stars. Curated API lists and directories tend to dominate this category due to their high utility for developers across all domains.
