4.1 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 25, 2026, 14:38 UTC.

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

Stars per day

02040July 28, 2026October 25, 2026

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 2026-10-25 (UTC), 12:24–14:29: 3525 → 3559 stars (+34). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +47 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 1 per day.
  • Hacker News: “fheroes2: A recreation of Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine” — 86 points, 3 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 8. -27% versus the preceding 7 days.

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.
