Sort (first N) projects by latest commit

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 5 comments

We could use the GitHub API to sort projects by latest commit. A flaw might be if projects aren't hosted on GitHub. I'm fine closing this issue if people think it's cruft.

I think this would be cool for which projects are featured on the home page, but probably would just be nice for alphabetical order or something on the actual projects page?

@zthomae do you want me to take care of this? Or do you have it?

Sure, you can handle it again. Make sure to file another pull request so @MikeCook9994 and I can review it.
