Description
We already display the stars of the repositories on the page. For GitHub repositories, they are retrieved via the GitHub API.
With a quick and dirty solution, the stars for non-GitHub repositories were written hard into the code. There are only a handful of repositories outside of GitHub, but we should do this properly.

Research direction
Start by locating the GitHub API star retrieval and the hard-coded star values for non-GitHub repositories. Determine how the existing page loads repository data and identify suitable APIs for the remaining repositories. Done means non-GitHub stars are retrieved rather than embedded in the code and displayed correctly.
