1.4 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 1, 2026, 13:16 UTC.

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

Stars per day

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 2026-11-01 (UTC), 11:01–13:13: 10108 → 10109 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +3 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending C++ today: #6, +7 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 30. +58% versus the preceding 7 days.
