1
Tidy 70 stale repos
Archive what's done so live repos stand out — a wall of dormant projects reads as scattered.
2
Add a pinned 'about me' README
A profile README (username/username repo) is prime real estate — most strong profiles use it.
3
Keep the streak alive
You're in good shape — steady public commits and the occasional write-up keep the signal fresh.
4
Pin your 3 strongest repos (jquery-pjax, gist, dotjs)
Pinned repos are the profile's storefront — lead with your highest-star, original work.
Signal-based, not gatekeeping — derived from your public activity, reach, and project depth.
