Repository rating and reactions in SourceCraft

We use scoring to rank public repositories in our list of top repositories based on their significance to SourceCraft users. The score also affects eligibility for grants.

Our scoring is multi-factorial, calculated relative to other public repositories in SourceCraft with account taken of user reactions and other factors, such as the popularity of imported repositories.

The score represents a repository's relative position within the overall list of public repositories as sorted by their score. For example, a score of 15% means the repository falls within the top 15% of all repositories.

The lower the score, the higher the repository is ranked in the list.

The following user reactions contribute to the overall score, with varying degrees of impact:

• 👍 Like: Positive impact.
• ❤️ Love: Advanced impact.
• 💎 Top: Maximum impact.

In general, the more reactions a repository receives, the higher its score will be.
