[Bug] Trending feature broken: gtrend.yapie.me is unreachable #321
Description
Description
The Trending tab in the GitTouch app does not load and shows a connection error.
The app appears to rely on an external API endpoint:
gtrend.yapie.me
This endpoint seems to be down or unreachable, which causes the Trending feature (and sometimes Search) to fail.
Error shown in the app:
SocketException: OS Error: Software caused connection abort errno = 103 address = gtrend.yapie.me
Reloading the page does not fix the issue.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open GitTouch
- Go to the Trending tab
- Wait for it to load
Expected Behavior
Trending repositories should load normally.
Actual Behavior
Trending fails to load and shows a socket/connection error.
Possible Cause
The backend service gtrend.yapie.me appears to be offline or no longer maintained.
Suggested Fix (Optional)
- Replace or remove dependency on
gtrend.yapie.me - Use a GitHub-based alternative (GraphQL / scraping)
- Or disable the Trending tab gracefully if no backend is available
Additional Notes
This issue does not seem to be device-specific and likely affects all users.
