How to Find SolidJS Developer Leads on GitHub

Why SolidJS Developers Are High-Intent Leads

SolidJS is the fastest-growing reactive framework in 2025. Developers who adopt Solid are making deliberate architectural choices — rejecting virtual DOM overhead in favor of fine-grained reactivity. That decision-making signal translates directly to buying intent: they are actively evaluating build tools, hosting platforms, testing solutions, and DevOps infrastructure.

The SolidJS ecosystem has a dedicated GitHub presence. The main `solidjs/solid` repo accumulates 1,000+ new stars per month. SolidStart (the meta-framework) is actively maintained with regular releases. Solid primitives, `solid-router`, and community packages get daily issue activity. Every one of these touchpoints is a detectable buying signal.

GitHub Signals That Identify SolidJS Developers

GitLeads monitors two types of GitHub signals to surface SolidJS developer leads:

• Stargazer signals — new stars on solidjs/solid, solidjs/solid-start, solidjs/solid-router, @solidjs/meta, solid-primitives
• Keyword signals — mentions of "SolidJS", "createSignal", "SolidStart", "solid-router", "createResource" in GitHub Issues, PRs, Discussions, and commit messages
• Competitor signals — stars on Qwik, Preact, Marko (developers actively evaluating Solid alternatives)
• Ecosystem signals — stars on Vite (Solid's primary bundler), Vitest, @tanstack/solid-query

SolidJS Repositories Worth Tracking

• solidjs/solid — Core framework (34k+ stars)
• solidjs/solid-start — Meta-framework for full-stack Solid apps
• solidjs/solid-router — File-based routing
• solidjs/solid-primitives — Community utility primitives library
• solidjs/solid-transition-group — Animation primitives
• @tanstack/solid-query — TanStack Query for Solid
• wobsoriano/solid-zustand — Zustand state management for Solid

What the Lead Data Looks Like

When a developer stars solidjs/solid-start at 11:42 PM on a Tuesday, GitLeads captures the event within seconds. The enriched lead record includes:

• GitHub username, display name, public email (when available)
• Bio, company affiliation, location
• Top languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust — typical Solid user)
• Follower count and public repo count (proxy for influence and reach)
• Signal context: "Starred solidjs/solid-start — SolidStart meta-framework"

Keyword Signals That Catch SolidJS Evaluators

Stargazers are warm. Keyword mentioners are hot. When a developer opens a GitHub issue saying "migrating from React to SolidJS" or "SolidStart deployment on Fly.io", they are telling you exactly what they need.

High-value keyword patterns to monitor:

• "SolidJS" OR "solid-js" in repository issues/discussions
• "createSignal" OR "createEffect" in open-source project code
• "SolidStart" in PR titles and issue descriptions
• "switching from React to Solid" — migration intent signal
• "vite-plugin-solid" in package.json discussions

Routing SolidJS Leads Into Your Sales Stack

GitLeads does not send emails. We capture the signal and push the enriched lead into the tools you already use:

• HubSpot — SolidJS leads as contacts with framework tag property
• Slack — instant Slack DM when a high-follower dev stars a tracked Solid repo
• Clay — enrich SolidJS developers and build targeted outreach sequences
• Smartlead / Instantly — push into email sequences personalized around Solid adoption
• Webhook / n8n / Zapier — route to any downstream tool in your stack

Building a SolidJS Lead Pipeline

1. Add solidjs/solid, solidjs/solid-start, and 3-5 ecosystem repos to GitLeads
2. Configure keyword monitors for "SolidJS", "SolidStart", "createSignal"
3. Set up a Slack alert for leads with 500+ followers (DevRel-worthy contacts)
4. Push all leads to HubSpot with a "SolidJS" tag for segmented outreach
5. Use Clay to enrich leads and identify company fit before reaching out
