## Useful for

- Compress static web assets like HTML, CSS and JS to reduce transfer size
- Build the brotli CLI or library from source with CMake for custom integration
- Use the Python module to compress or decompress data in scripts

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-24 (UTC), 11:39–18:44: 14982 → 14992 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 3.6× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending TypeScript today: #6, +16 stars.

## 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: 1,380
- Issues and pull requests: 1,576
- Watchers: 322
- Average over the last week: 8 per day
- Usual pace: 2 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v1.0.10 (2026-10-21)

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.
