# D3ATHLY/blackbox

> BlackBox is a homebrew catalog and download manager for PS5 consoles, storing only game metadata such as titles and cover links while file transfers stay under the user's responsibility. It explicitly excludes jailbreak, piracy and copyrighted content hosting.

## 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 2026-10-08 (UTC), 00:03–14:11: 131 → 201 stars (+70). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +123 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 201 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #69.
- About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

## Numbers

- Forks: 10
- Issues and pull requests: 5
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 96 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 8
- Latest release: v1.0.7 (2026-10-08)

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.
