# Organize your GitHub Stars with Astral [Week 38/20 in Review] *If you like my [articles](https://blog.natterstefan.me/), you probably like my [tweets](https://twitter.com/natterstefan) and [newsletter](https://newsletter.natterstefan.me/) too. Let's connect on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/natterstefan). 🚀* --- Hello 👋🏻. Welcome to my "Week in Review" series. Each week I will share what I discovered, learned, and tested with you. Let's take a look at what I got this week. Last week I allowed myself a few days offline. The silence without push notifications and emails did very well. It was pure relaxation. For this reason, this issue is also shorter and also a bit late. I ask for your understanding. Oh yes, I am interested: How do you recharge your batteries? --- ## Organize your GitHub Stars with Astral ![Organize your GitHub Stars with Astral](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1600958330102/pCmQ6x59J.png) As of today, [I have over 650 stars on GitHub](https://github.com/natterstefan?tab=stars). How many do you have? Do you know what you have starred? Have you ever missed looking at your stars when you were looking up a solution for your current task? Well, then you are like me. I like bookmarking (aka. add a star) GitHub repositories, but at the same time, I do not derive any value from the stars. I’ve not yet found a tool to properly lookup starred repositories. Until [Chris](https://twitter.com/chriskalmar) showed me [Astral](https://astralapp.com/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me). Astral is both [free and open source](https://github.com/astralapp/astral?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me). Organize all of your GitHub stars with tags, filters, notes, and a powerful search feature. Sounds great, doesn't it? I started using it more and more and finally make use of my GitHub stars. ## 📗 Books I started reading ["We Are All Leaders: Leadership is not a position, it's a mindset" by Fredrik Arnander](https://amzn.to/3kRLadF) again. It's a handy book for entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders. I told you that I have finished reading [Ego is the Enemy](https://amzn.to/2FPTlYm) last week. At the end of Ryan's book, he shares a list of books with the readers. You might want to see the list too. - [The 16 Best Books About Marketing, Period.](https://thoughtcatalog.com/ryan-holiday/2014/10/the-16-best-books-about-marketing-period/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me) - and [24 Books To Hone Your Strategic Mind](https://thoughtcatalog.com/ryan-holiday/2014/01/24-books-to-hone-your-strategic-mind/?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me) I mentioned this in one of my past reviews already, it is important to me to find a proper way to [digest books and preserve what I have learned](https://thoughtcatalog.com/ryan-holiday/2013/04/read-to-lead-how-to-digest-books-above-your-level?utm_campaign=natterstefan.me). So I was all the more pleased to see that Ryan has a few tips in store here too. *What are you reading?
