## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 08:58–11:04: 125 → 203 stars (+78). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +131 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 203 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #103.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: ManimGX – Manim's API on a Rust/wgpu engine, for 3D videos in Python” — 7 points, 12 h ago.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## 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: 11
- Issues and pull requests: 6
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 32 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 34
- Latest release: v0.1.1 (2026-10-07)

## Stars per day, last 7 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
