Methodology

Index = (forks × 2 + open issues) ÷ stars, extremes among repos with over 3000 stars. It measures the structural tension of “attention far exceeding endorsement”. A heuristic, not a sentiment analysis.

FAQ

Is this index scientific?

No, and it does not pretend to be. It is a structural proxy: repos that get widely copied (forks) or endlessly questioned (issues) while earning few stars usually live in a polarized spotlight.

Why do issues include PRs?

GitHub’s open_issues field itself includes pull requests. We do not subtract them and we say so.
