GoodAIList: Track 14K Open Source AI Repos Daily
By
–

I built GoodAIList.com to help me stay-up-date with new AI stuff. It's tracking 14K open source repos so far, with contributions from over 145K developers. Every day, it: – searches for new AI repos (based on 123 keywords and topics) – surfaces repos that are gaining traction, and – categorizes each repo The annotations are done by AI so they are not super accurate, but they've helped me find some useful stuff. It also lets me see where the contributors are, so when I travel, I can find folks doing cool stuff in a new city or country.
