How projects are selected

Projects are public GitHub repositories found with the GitHub search query “topic:django” and at least 50 stars. Each repository is checked against Django’s languages and ecosystem before it is categorized, and stars, forks and last-commit dates come straight from the GitHub API, refreshed daily (current snapshot: October 6, 2026). Nothing here is paid placement.
