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

  1. Open GitTouch
  2. Go to the Trending tab
  3. 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The backend service gtrend.yapie.me appears to be offline or no longer maintained.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.
