## Useful for

- Build a procedural vector illustration using the node graph
- Edit a raster image without destroying the original layers
- Build the project from Rust sources and experiment with the engine

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 11:05–12:45: 27485 → 27485 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +9 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.6× that of the previous week and a half.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #9, +51 stars.

## 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: 1,280
- Issues and pull requests: 4,546

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.
