There is certainly no shortage of super popular projects on Github, from Tensorflow to React to Swift and ohmyzsh. 

But with 2019 almost over and with 2020 on the horizon, we wanted to take a moment to appreciate some of the unknown repos that were `git init` in 2019 but never made it to the 10K+ stars hall of fame. (Few of them did though 👀)
