Introducing the OSSCAR Index

Supabase and >commit have launched the OSSCAR Index (Open Source Supabase Commit Analytical Ranking), a quarterly leaderboard tracking the fastest-growing open source GitHub organizations. Unlike traditional rankings based on raw totals like stars or downloads, OSSCAR measures growth rate using three signals: net new GitHub stars, unique contributors, and package downloads from npm, PyPI, and Cargo. These are normalized and combined via an L² norm into a composite score. Projects are split into two divisions — Emerging (under 1,000 stars) and Scaling (1,000+ stars) — to enable fair comparisons. The Q1 2026 edition is live, with AI agent frameworks dominating the Emerging division and a breakout project called Openclaw topping the Scaling division. The site, data pipeline, and scoring code are all open source on GitHub.
