Which has better activity and maintenance signals?
About p0deje/maccy · 2 messages · last activity 9/6/2026
Based on the RepoPilot analysis signals provided:
p0deje/maccy shows stronger activity indicators:
- 21,493 stars and 1,138 forks — significantly higher community engagement
- Active development — the codebase includes recent patterns like async/await Tasks, SwiftUI with modern Observable patterns, and Sparkle updater integration
- Continuous updates — reflected in the README's macOS Sonoma 14+ requirement, indicating ongoing version-aware maintenance
theboredteam/boring.notch signals:
- No publicly available star/fork counts in the provided data
- Explicit branch management — the CONTRIBUTING.md [lines 28-36] mandates the
devbranch for code andmainfor docs, suggesting structured release practices - Community infrastructure — includes a Discord server [lines 122-134], indicating active community engagement
However, there are maintenance concerns:
Both repos show weak OpenSSF Scorecard signals in maccy's case (2.8/10), with notably failing checks:
- CI-Tests: 0/10
- Dependency-Update-Tool: 0/10
- Security-Policy: 0/10
For maccy specifically, the architecture grade is C (50/100) with 0 files parsed—this is a concerning signal about code analysis coverage, though it may reflect Swift-specific tooling limitations rather than actual code quality.
maccy is clearly more active by download/community metrics, but neither repo shows strong formal maintenance signals (CI, security policies, automated dependency updates) based on available data.
FOLLOW_UPS:
- What's maccy's release cadence and latest version date?
- Does boring.notch have automated CI/CD pipeline details?
- Are there any security advisories filed against either?
