JV githup is a lightweight third-party GitHub client for Android, about 350KB. It uses a WebView to host a front-end single-page app, with a native layer that adds capabilities the web cannot provide. It supports repository browsing, Issue/PR handling, Actions viewing, Release publishing, full-page translation, and cloud-built APK packaging. It also includes a silent update mechanism and a five-layer security protection system.

A third-party GitHub client for Android. The hup in the name is hub, the GitHub you carry in your pocket.
Technically it’s a bit interesting: a WebView hosts a pure front-end single-page app, and the native layer only handles what the web can’t do, such as network requests that bypass cross-origin restrictions, the system file picker, binary uploads, and downloading and launching the installer. So the whole thing is compressed to around 350 KB, yet it covers browsing repositories, viewing Issues / PRs, checking Actions, publishing Releases, uploading files, and even having GitHub Actions in the cloud build an APK for you.
What each version changed is recorded in CHANGELOG.md (starting from v1.1.3).
The moment the app opens, it automatically checks this repository to see whether it’s the latest version. If it’s already the latest, it stays completely silent with no reaction at all. Only when a new version exists does it remind you, according to version-number rules. You can also publish a new build without changing the version number: upload the new package and update the checksum, and users…
How much a project earns versus how much attention it actually gets. Above 50 means the work is outrunning its audience. Recomputed nightly from commit velocity, contributor effort, issue resolution, fork utility, release cadence, and project maturity — divided by a logarithmic reach factor.
score = signal / reach
signal = 0.25·commit_velocity // commits in last 90 days (cap 30)
+ 0.20·contributor_work // unique authors × velocity (cap 100)
+ 0.20·issue_resolution // closed ÷ total issues
+ 0.20·fork_ratio // forks ÷ stars (proxy for real usage)
+ 0.10·release_cadence // releases in 90 days (cap 3)
+ age_bonus // +0 to +0.30 after 6 months
+ homepage_bonus // +0.05 if homepage is set
reach = log₁₀(stars + watchers + 10)█ Is the project alive and maintained right now? A 0–100 pulse recomputed nightly from commit recency, rhythm, how fast issues close, and how quickly PRs get merged.
health = 0.35·recency // days since last commit (90d decay)
+ 0.25·cadence // commit rhythm consistency
+ 0.20·issue_health // closed ÷ total issues
+ 0.20·pr_health // merged ÷ total PRs█ The colour and label on every card come straight from the health score.
Healthy 80 – 100 active, responsive, regular releases
Stable 60 – 79 maintained, steady, no alarms
Quiet 40 – 59 slowing down — watch this one
At Risk 0 – 39 going dark · candidate for rescue█ Tags are independent behavioral signals computed nightly. A project can hold multiple at once. They drive the home page sections.

funded maintainer has active funding channel█ Stars are an outcome, not effort. A project with 8 stars and daily commits is doing more interesting work than one coasting on 8k. We measure the building, then divide by the attention already received — so the genuinely undervalued rise to the top.
