open-source-search: Android client for searching GitHub repositories by stars

⚡ The gist in 5 seconds - The donghuaigu123/open-source-search repository now has an Android client called “ ” for finding open-source projects on GitHub. - Queries go through the GitHub API, results are sorted by star count, and repository pages open in a built-in WebView. - The UI follows Material You with light and dark themes; no separate versions or build numbers are listed in the project description. ### 🔍 What was found The donghuaigu123/open-source-search project is an Android app called “ ” (“open-source search”). The declared functionality: repository search via the GitHub API with sorting by stars, a built-in WebView browser for viewing results, and Material You themes with support for light and dark modes. The mechanics are simple and built on the public GitHub API: the app forms a search query, receives a list of repositories, and orders them by star count — meaning the most popular ones surface first. Tapping a result doesn't kick the user out to the system browser: the page opens inside the WebView, so the search context isn't lost. The theme follows Material You and switches between light and dark variants. ### 💡 Why it matters Mobile GitHub is a heavy multi-tool where popularity-based search is buried behind several screens. A narrow client like open-source-search solves a single task: quickly find a popular open-source project and immediately view its page. The price of compactness is dependence on the GitHub API: without authentication, the public interface limits the number of requests, so with heavy searching the app may hit rate limits. There is no information about ready-made APK builds or distribution through app stores in the repository description — the sources are on GitHub, and the app can be built yourself.
