This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - Over the last two days the pace is 2.5× that of the previous week and a half. - GitHub Trending C++ today: #15, +18 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: 2,149 - Issues and pull requests: 5,953 - Watchers: 266 - Average over the last week: 8 per day - Usual pace: 6 per day - Stars in the last hour (measured): 0 - Latest release: mariadb-13.1.1 (2026-09-15) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-09-24 … 2026-10-23: 6, 5, 7, 6, 1, 9, 7, 2, 2, 3, 2, 7, 8, 8, 3, 6, 5, 6, 8, 6, 8, 7, 2, 5, 6, 5, 1, 11, 20, 2 ## Spotted in now - GitHub Trending C++ today: #15, +18 stars ## Similar by description 1. **DavidRamosSal/mcp-server-mariadb-vector** — 0.0 · Quiet · Python · Not enough measurements today MCP server for MariaDB Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/DavidRamosSal/mcp-server-mariadb-vector.md --- 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.
