- ## ⚠️ Known Limitations
111
-
112
- ### 1. **Missing Star/Fork Data (Pre-2020)**
113
- - **100% of 2013-2019 entries** lack star/fork counts
114
- - Only **67.8% of dataset** has popularity metrics
115
- - **Impact:** Cannot compare absolute popularity for historical projects
116
-
117
- ### 2. **Uneven Temporal Distribution**
118
- - Snapshot frequency: **1 to 31 per month** (31x variance)
119
- - 2019-2020 heavily over-represented
120
- - **Impact:** Monthly scores favor periods with more snapshots
121
-
122
- ### 3. **Star Count Timing Inconsistency**
123
- - Star counts are "maximum ever recorded" across all snapshots
124
- - A 2015 project's stars might be from 2025 scraping
125
- - **Impact:** Can't fairly compare popularity across eras

- ## 📈 Data Quality by Era

-
131
- | Era | Quality | Star Data | Snapshot Density | Grade |
132
- |-----|---------|-----------|------------------|-------|
133
- | **2013-2019** | Limited | ❌ 0% | Low-Medium | **C+** |
134
- | **2020-2025** | Excellent | ✅ 100% | High | **A-** |
135

- **Recommendation:** Use 2020-2025 data for analyses requiring star/fork counts

- ## 💡 Usage Examples
139
-
140
- ### Load with Hugging Face Datasets (Recommended)
141
-
142
- ```python
143
- from datasets import load_dataset
144
-
145
- # Load complete daily dataset (423,098 entries)
146
- ds_full = load_dataset('ronantakizawa/github-top-projects', 'full')
147
- df_full = ds_full['train'].to_pandas()
148
-
149
- # Load monthly top 25 dataset (3,200 entries)
150
- ds_monthly = load_dataset('ronantakizawa/github-top-projects', 'monthly')
151
- df_monthly = ds_monthly['train'].to_pandas()
152
-
153
- # Filter to 2020+ (with star data)
154
- df_recent = df_full[df_full['date'] >= '2020-01-01']
155
-
156
- # Get November 2025 top 10
157
- nov_2025 = df_monthly[df_monthly['month'] == '2025-11'].head(10)
158
- print(nov_2025[['rank', 'repository', 'star_count', 'ranking_appearances']])
159
- ```
160
-
161
- ### Time Series Analysis
162
-
163
- ```python
164
- import pandas as pd
165
- import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
166
- from datasets import load_dataset

-
168
- ds = load_dataset('ronantakizawa/github-top-projects', 'full')
169
- df = ds['train'].to_pandas()
170
- df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
171
-
172
- # Analyze a specific project over time
173
- project = 'microsoft/vscode'
174
- project_df = df[(df['repo_owner'] == 'microsoft') & (df['name'] == 'vscode')]
175
-
176
- # Plot trending frequency over time
177
- monthly_counts = project_df.groupby(project_df['date'].dt.to_period('M')).size()
178
- monthly_counts.plot(title=f'{project} Trending Frequency')
