## Useful for

- Keep long-running builds and SSH sessions alive after quitting and reopening the terminal
- Split a tab into panes to run lazygit, vim and a shell side by side in one window
- Track which program is printing or rang the bell in a background pane via header dots

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 00:05–01:31: 82 → 89 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +45 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 89 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #164.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @daodao97 (299 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: 5
- Issues and pull requests: 3
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 27 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 5

## Stars per day, last 6 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.
