Wow I've never seen so many fake accounts on a HN post before. So then is it fair to say the Github stars for this project could also perhaps be artificially inflated? This month they started to go exponential: https://github.com/langgenius/dify?tab=readme-ov-file#star-h...



Well, I think a lot of the uptick happened last week because that's when it was published in the Toughtworks Tech Radar for this quarter. The audience is large, presumably larger than HN, and that's how I found out about it and have been toying with it since then. I have no idea what I'm doing, but as far as I can tell, this seems like a legitimate project.


This aligns with what you said:

I created insights for the last 4 weeks and number of new contributors and stars peaked last week. This project has all the signs of a successfully organically grown project.


never heard of tech radar, interesting thanks!


The AI Girlfriend posts are on a lot of threads today, not just this one. But you never know.


Yup, this reeks of sock puppets


Had someone mention it to me yesterday in an organic convo so there are definitely people out there using it (seemingly happily).

Haven’t tried it yet - still evaluating autogen.


> Github stars for this project could also perhaps be artificially inflated?

Maybe, but I don't think so. The number of people engaging with the project is what I would expect from the number of stars received.

https://devboard.gitsense.com/langgenius?r=langgenius%2Fdify...

I've seen projects with 5,000+ stars in a month and only have 20-30 people interacting with the project.

Full disclosure: This is my tool


"5.5k stargazzers"

fyi typo
