Hello,
I have a lot of starred repo, like most people. When searching for a repo in my starred list, I often tend to browse based on my rough memory of when I had starred the repo (by sorting the list by "recently starred"), and it generally works well.
I would like to suggest extending this further by also showing the date a repo was starred on, next to each repo (currently, only the date a repo was last updated is displayed). It can be further refined to only show this date if a user has sorted the starred repos by "recently starred", so it won't be shown when sorted by "recently active" or "most stars".
This will help in the scenario where I can then quickly identify the repos that I had starred while I was working on "X Project" a couple of years ago, because I roughly remember the time frame during which I was working on that project. There are certainly other use-cases, but this one comes up fairly regularly for me.
It seems like a simply tweak, but not having this info limits the value provided by "recently starred" sorting order, especially if one has a large number of starred repos from the past.
Thanks,
Robin
