Issue Radar

A live triage board for 1,900+ GitHub issues, refreshed daily.

Every new issue on a busy open source repo is classified by Jev, a fast classification model, for category, product area, severity, urgency, and regression. A daily GitHub Actions job publishes an interactive board with filters, clickable charts, and shareable views. Counts were checked against GitHub day by day.
