There are times where stars might be the metrics to sort by, but the things like boilerplate, specially react boilerplate list out there, if the last updated time was over 2 years, what's the point of showing them on top?
I think we should give a weight on both when it was last updated and number of stars, like there are some boilerplates which are older than 2 years, I know there's a sort by last update, but I think there should be a recommended sort which combines both, by giving certain weight to both last update time as well as stars (and users would be able to change the sort anyways)
