Sort by metrics/attributes, e.g. “has readme” And search, like “codeclimate” / “NOT codeclimate” to show repos that have/don’t have content with that string
But avoid constantly re-downloading it… it’s a sizeable file. So maybe generate a hash that lives in a separate resource (data.json.hash?), and hammer that from the client. Also consider adding a debug view to see underlying data, like CMD+D to show components for fetching status, the request history, etc.
If the repo is a fork and the fork has been archived, show that.
