Feature: Highlight recently active repositories #2568
Description
Description
Add a small visual indicator to help users quickly identify repositories that have been updated recently while browsing the list.
Motivation
Good First Issue is often used by new contributors who want to work on projects that are actively maintained. Although the site already shows relative “last activity” timestamps (hours/days ago), it can be difficult to scan a long list and immediately spot the most active repositories.
A lightweight visual cue would improve discoverability without changing existing behavior or introducing new filtering logic.
Proposed Solution
- Add a subtle visual indicator for repositories that have been updatedrecently
- The definition of “recent” should represent a short activity window that provides meaningful signal (exact threshold can be discussed)
- The indicator should be purely informational and non-intrusive
- No changes to sorting, filtering, or backend data
Alternatives Considered
- Relying only on the existing “last activity” text (less scannable)
- Adding new sorting or filtering options (larger scope and behavior change)
- Using a fixed time threshold (less flexible across repositories)
Additional Context
This issue is being opened to gather feedback and confirm alignment before any implementation is attempted. The scope is intentionally kept small and UI-only.
