GradeF

Getting noticed, but rough fundamentals could turn visitors away.

Higher than 17% of 5,156 graded repos

Mirror of multiple third-party blocklists (updated daily).

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 (62).
