About the project

PaperFold is a local-first paper reader that folds any text into five zoom levels, from the full text to AI-generated one-line takeaways. It helps researchers hold an article's argument in mind while reading.

Useful for
  • Read an arXiv paper at the Key level to skim its argument before a deep read
  • Ask a question about a passage and jump to the paragraphs the answer cites
  • Export a paper with its levels and translations as a self-contained HTML file

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 7, 2026, 03:17 UTC.

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

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 2026-10-07 (UTC), 00:20–03:09: 72 → 74 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 3 days old and already has 74 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #157.

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.
