I've noticed that very few projects are able to get a high star count without 1) a clear value proposition in the README 2) screenshots, screenshots, screenshots.
Lucky for me and my ego, we're not comparing popularity relative to one another... anyway this is an implementation of perceptual hashing in PHP, to catch image reposting on forums and imageboards. It counts as the 'most popular' because it's the only repo I have that anyone's contributed to or made a fork of so far (they did it in js)
This is a great idea! I think there should be a monthly thread for HN'ers to show off their projects. Or maybe a special category for posts about projects, which you can filter based on.
Wait a minute, I'm describing Show HN...is there a way to filter and see only Show HN posts?
That's my work to bring syntax highlighting to the Perl debugger. It involves some deep magic with the debugger and still needs more work, but people are very happy with it.

Almost every project I have is completely unseen and just there for personal use or my stupid amusement.
