## What it is
GitHunt is a React web application and Chrome extension that lets users explore the most starred GitHub projects by week, with filtering by language and list/grid views. It replaces the new tab page or can be used online to browse trending repositories over time.

## Use cases
- discover the most starred GitHub projects on any date
- browse weekly trending repositories by programming language
- replace my Chrome new tab with trending GitHub projects
- scroll back through past weeks of popular open-source projects
- find popular open-source repos to contribute to
- track trending GitHub projects in a specific language

## When to choose
- you want a visual, filterable way to browse trending GitHub repositories
- you want trending repos surfaced in your browser new tab
- you prefer weekly snapshots of starred projects over GitHub's daily trending page

## When to avoid
- you need API access or programmatic trending data rather than a UI
- you use a browser other than Chrome and don't want the web version
- you need real-time daily trending rather than weekly starred rankings
