## Description

GitHub Hunt is a client-side web application that serves as a browser for discovering the most popular GitHub repositories, sorted by their weekly star counts. It fetches trending project data from the GitHub API and caches it locally to avoid redundant network requests during a session.

The interface allows users to filter the displayed projects by programming language, focusing on repositories relevant to a specific tech stack. It also provides the ability to switch between list and grid view modes, arranging project cards in a responsive layout using CSS Grid properties for the grid view.
