## What it is
A web application that finds the most active forks of a GitHub repository using the GitHub API. It is hosted as a static site and can also be used as a bookmarklet from any GitHub repo page.

## Use cases
- find active forks of a github repo
- see which fork is ahead of upstream
- identify maintained forks of an abandoned project
- compare fork commits ahead and behind the parent repo
- quickly check fork activity from a github page via bookmarklet

## When to choose
- you need to discover which fork of a project is actively maintained
- you want a zero-install browser tool for comparing GitHub forks

## When to avoid
- you need fork analytics beyond ahead/behind commit counts
- you need an API or CLI integration rather than a web UI
- you require guaranteed long-term maintenance, as the project is seeking new maintainers

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: browser
- tags: github, forks, bookmarklet, static-web-app, web-server
