Why it ranks here
Health score explained
RecipeSage scores 82/100, #7 of 11 in Recipe Management: 1,159 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the latest release (v4.1.0, 4 days ago) earns 25.0 of 25, 985 stars add 12.0 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the good band (70 and above). The biggest shortfall is Docker support, worth 10.0 more points.
