Here is a question - how come that extremely popular projects like FreHD
https://github.com/veco/FreHDv1
- literally, hundreds of FreHDs out there! - are hugely outnumbered in the number of Github Stars by PCB replica projects such as
https://github.com/RetroStack/TRS-80-Model-I-G-E1
I am not saying that this is unjustified, but I find it interesting. IMHO, designing a novel product is of an entire different quality as designing a replica of an existing PCB.
I am interested in people's thoughts. This is not meant as a confrontation - but I am curious what causes this large dis-proportionality in attribution of impact of a product?
