## Useful for

- Browse a PS5 homebrew catalog of titles and covers to decide what to install
- Manage downloads and updates of the BlackBox app itself via its own update mechanism
- Check SHA-256 hashes in updates/payloads.json before applying an app update

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 18:45–20:30: 80 → 97 stars (+17). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +19 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 97 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #166.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
