- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +26 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 42% of the previous 5 days.
- The repository is 7 days old and already has 462 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “/dev/null: social network for developers” — 185 points, 5 days ago.
- About 14 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @WendellAdriel (779 followers).

## 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: 198
- Issues and pull requests: 945
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 64 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0

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.
