About

Turn every GitHub star into a shared discovery.
Have you ever found an amazing GitHub repository and wanted to share it with a teammate, but the moment passed? You'd have to copy the link, switch to Slack or email, and by then the excitement fades. StarShare eliminates that friction entirely.

How it works:
When you star a repository on GitHub, a sleek sidebar instantly slides in. Search for any GitHub user, add an optional message, and share—all without leaving the page. Your recipient gets a real-time browser notification with the repo details and your note.
Key Features:

⭐ Instant Sharing
Star a repo and share it in seconds. The sidebar appears automatically, showing repository details and letting you search for teammates by GitHub username.
🔔 Real-Time Notifications
Recipients receive browser notifications the moment you share. No more "I'll send it later" and forgetting—capture the excitement of discovery instantly.
💬 Conversation History
View all repositories you've shared or received, organized by person. Never lose track of that library someone recommended months ago.
🌙 Dark Mode Support
Seamlessly matches GitHub's light and dark themes for a native feel.
🔒 Privacy-Focused
Uses GitHub OAuth with minimal permissions. We only access your public profile information.

Perfect for:
Development teams sharing tools and libraries
Co-founders discovering resources together
Open source enthusiasts spreading the word
Mentors recommending repos to students
Anyone who collaborates on GitHub

Why StarShare?
The star button is already your way of bookmarking repositories. StarShare transforms that personal action into a collaborative one. Share your discoveries at the moment they matter most—when you're excited about them.

Stop context-switching. Start sharing.
