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 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–10:32: 1889 → 1894 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +23 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.

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.
