Why it ranks here
Health score explained
Tracks scores 24/100, #25 of 26 in Task Management & To-do Lists: 1 commit in the last 90 days earns 1.2 of 35 points, the latest release (v2.7.1, 2.3 years ago) earns 0.0 of 25, 1,239 stars add 12.4 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the stale band (below 40). The biggest shortfall is commit activity, worth 33.8 more points.
