Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 19:52–20:36: 1265 → 1285 stars (+20). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +26 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 33× 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.
- GitHub Trending today: #13, +196 stars.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #2, +196 stars.
- About 20 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
