GradeF

Huge star count, but README, tests, and CI need real investment.

Higher than 29% of 5,156 graded repos

A curated list of awesome awesomeness

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code

Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to D (69).
