Big Time T-Strings

The code behind https://bigtime.t-strings.help/

Big Time searches for public Python repositories that use t-strings and ranks them by how just how "BIG TIME" their usage really is.

Specifically, it:

• Uses GitHub search to find Python repositories that explicitly declare a minimum Python version of 3.14
• Uses GitHub APIs to get metadata about those repositories, including star counts
• Clones each repository, parses all Python files, and walks the AST to count t-string literals (ast.TemplateStr) and imports from string.templatelib.
• Uses a totally slapdash heuristic to rank repositories by how much they use t-strings, factoring in star counts and "density" of t-string usage
• Builds a completely goofy looking website to display the results
• Runs all of this automatically every day, in a GitHub Action

How BIG TIME are those t-strings?! We will soon find out!
