4.9 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 13, 2026, 11:54 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 9, 2026October 13, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 10:07–11:39: 100 → 100 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 100 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #195.
  • About 25 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.
