I starred a lot of really great repositories, but Lists only allows for 16 categories, which is not enough for me at all. 2024-08-29 update: Years from now, I realized that after starring thousands of repositories, I no longer remember them and couldn't possibly utilize so many repositories, despite their greatness. So, I used GitHub's API to remove all my Stars, starting from zero. |

Time for the upgrade to 64 |
|
Thanks for this! |
|
For goodness sakes. Can you please either delete the feature, or expand the limit to a much higher number?
You think we are incapable of scrolling 100 or 200 lines? That is absurd. You can also add a filtering feature later without blocking people from using your own feature. |

Agreed. This feature should not have a limitation on number of items. |
|
Definitely. I quickly run out of the limit. https://testing-library.com/docs/ecosystem-eslint-plugin-testing-library/ I see in lists: testing, eslint, project-setup, RTL |
|
+1 to this. I'd like to split things by language, discipline, etc. 16 is exhausted very quickly. |

+1 Why even have a limit? 🤷♂️ |
|
I suspect Microsoft wants to save a few bucks on database resources. Or maybe Lists' devs do not want the users creating too much groups with just one or two items. |
|
Hi @lkostrowski ! I saw your thumbs down. Im curious about other thoughts about this matter. Can you share your opinion about the reason behind this limitation? |
|
I refer to your before-edit comment about saving few bucks |
|
I think you are right. That was probably a design decision, not a financial one. |
|
I need lists as more as possible. maybe it's bettered called "tags". yes I want to give any repository extra tags to make it more easy to find again. |
|
"Lists" looked like a really cool feature... until I reached this limit 🤣 |
|
I also hit the 16 limit limitation quickly.
Before GitHub lists, I created my own lists using an external store (notion database) but the need to context switch out of the GitHub web app to save the repo and categorize it usually caused me to just defer the action 😢 due to the extra step / time needed specially since I use GitHub on mobile a lot (I use it to catch up on updates / view GitHub feed like I do my twitter feed ) Related |

Definitely hit the ceiling too fast! My usage: Each list is a tag. Having it capped at 16, I'm totally stuck and will have to stop using the feature. There's no way I can categorize all my content in 16 categories. This is a huge showstopper and could kill the feature straight away. Please increase the limit to no less than 128. Or, increase it in steps. Again, please do something before I (we) stop using this feature because we forget about it. |
|
I need at least 128 items and i can pay. |
|
|
Acctualy I think the limit is 32, but it would be great to have a higher number (or unlimited) |
that is crazy |
|
Hi all! Thanks for this feedback, I'm excited to see you've all made quick use of lists - We definitely want to get you unblocked and up this limit as soon as possible. Adding your feedback to our tracking issue so we can help prioritize this! |
|
Then why hasn't it been increased in all these years? 32 is ludicrously small, and there isn't even any indication of why creating a list fails. Edit: I just read this:
That's nonsense ... no page redesign is needed to increase the number of entries in a scrollable list. And the whole tone is childish, condescending, and completely self-contradictory gaslighting. Also:
How can anyone on github's staff not know what hierarchical means? Tree structured UIs are everywhere. |

Can you please elaborate why this limit is so low? I would also love to add way more lists as it helps me to find repos again because I categorize them. |
|
Im adding myself to this. Would like to have more lists if possible. |
|
Hi. I really like the lists feature. But I hit the limit on the first 20-30 minutes after testing it. :) I need much bigger limit as I have more than 5k stars. That can't be easily organized in a few lists. Anyway, I like to collect interesting software projects and sort them in categories and lists so this feature is really great. I already got hooked and can't imagine living without it. Good job GitHub-ers. 👍 |

I started sorting and hit the limit after two pages and I'm not even categorizing that specifically. I estimate I would need around 50 categories to organize my ~500 likes. It's unusable with only 16. Will have to leave off organizing until this is increased. Also the lists should probably have their own page if the limit is increased. Or some way to pin x lists. I can see why they might have been limited to this amount because they're all shown on the stars page and they occupy a huge space (they also have way too much padding imo). |

I hit the 16 limit quickly as well. Unfortunately, it's been a hard blocker for my use cases, so I'm switching to something else until the fix to bump this limit is rolled out. |

Great |

I don't know all history of Stars list limit. At start it was 16, now it's 321. Come on. Make it real limit (no limit would be great) for developers. What would be your max. limit number? P.S. Footnotes |

Yo |
|
Is the list full yet |
|
Hopefully you guys can consider to increase numbers of the allowlist |
|
The line is open for secjetons awe salute to service |
|
Working together makes the world a better place for umanity 🌍🤝 |
|
|
Can we PLEASE get unlimited? Lists were a AMAZING feature added, and we cannot get enough! Please at 32 its still too short, unlimited would be great, but 128 should be enough! |
|
Ill pay extra $ to get more space in lists. If you really need justification for it, make it unlimited or 256 max for PAYING MEMBERS ONLY |
|
Oh I am talking about the # of Lists you can have in the Starred Repos |
|
would really love this! |
|
It's a good one |
|
Someone needs to go through the interview process, get in a position to change this value, and quit 😂 |
|
I will probably need to make my own solution to handle what repo is related to what. We really need much bigger number of lists. |
|
I don't think you have to create a new one. I've seen a project that allowed to reorganize GitHub stars with custom tags (that can be used as lists). If I remember correctly it was also self-hostable. https://github.com/astralapp/astral |
|
can you share a few screenshots? |
|
maybe it could store data in a private Github Gist, so it's easy to backup & restore? |
and others
