About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

This repository preserves the last publicly available open-source Hey.xyz code from before May 15, 2026. It implemented a Lens Protocol social application with profiles, publishing, and interactions, but it does not contain the current production Hey.xyz source. No GitHub Release is published.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Study the Lens-based profile, publishing, and interaction implementation

The snapshot uses TypeScript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Lens Protocol, Wagmi/Viem and related Web3 infrastructure.

Sources: [2]

Use it as an architectural reference for decentralized social applications

The monorepo documents dependencies on Lens configuration, databases, Redis, API authentication, wallets/private keys, and storage.

Sources: [2]

For research into Lens social-app architecture and Hey's open-source period

It is a reference/learning snapshot, not a current self-hostable distribution of the production Hey.xyz service.

Sources: [2]

Current production is closed-source and README/license declarations disagree

The README explicitly states post-May-15-2026 production development is not included. It labels the project AGPL-3.0, but the actual LICENSE file contains GNU GPL v3 and GitHub detects GPL-3.0; this entry uses the actual LICENSE as the database value.

Supplemental curator note

The requested `heyxyz/hey` URL now resolves to `slymnoyann/hey.xyz`. Most importantly, this repository is not the source of current Hey.xyz production; it preserves the last public open-source state from before May 15, 2026.
