Open-Source Marketing — GitHub Stars Growth System
🌍 Language / 语言: English | 中文
Stars don't come from a great repo — they come from a great repo placed in front of the right developers, in the right order. This is the staged decision framework used to take AFFiNE from 0 to 60K stars.
English Version
The 3-stage framework
Stage 1 — Pre-launch (T-30 → T-0)
Stage 2 — Launch (T-0 → T+14)
Stage 3 — Growth (T+14 → T+180)
Channel order that works
English > multilingual > Chinese-only. Unless your target is Chinese users, launching an English project to Chinese communities first wastes your best shot.
Anti-patterns (the things that get you un-discovered)
- ❌ Farming stars — GitHub detects it fast; the penalty is disappearing from search.
- ❌ Posting to Reddit once and leaving — communities resent it; high ban risk.
- ❌ Too many emojis / badges in the README — lowers credibility.
- ❌ Treating Show HN as a one-shot — engage every comment for the full day.
What to do next
- Stage 1 done → run the Product Hunt launch sequence.
- Show HN succeeds → add SEO monitoring on "
<project> github".
- Need a content engine → move to the blog-writing workflow.
- Spotted a competitor's new play → run a competitor teardown.

3 阶段框架
阶段 1 — Pre-launch（T-30 → T-0）
阶段 2 — Launch（T-0 → T+14）
阶段 3 — Growth（T+14 → T+180）
渠道顺序
英文 > 多语言 > 纯中文。 除非目标就是中文用户，否则把英文项目先发中文社群是浪费最好的一次机会。
反模式
- ❌ 刷 star（GitHub 很快检测，后果是搜不到）。
- ❌ Reddit 只发一次就跑（社群反感，易被 ban）。
- ❌ README 太多 emoji / badge（降低可信度）。
- ❌ 把 Show HN 当一锤子买卖（要回一整天评论）。
