## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–11:13: 10973 → 12312 stars (+1339). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +3,049 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 13× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Get your coding agent off ~2019 JavaScript, onto modern web primitives” — 442 points, 3 days ago.
- About 227 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: 438
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 44
- Average over the last week: 1,754 per day
- Usual pace: 7 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 136
- Latest release: v1.0.0 (2026-11-10)

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.
