About the project

Zero-dependency TypeScript library for animated, steppable code explainers: renders SVG in the browser, Node and Cloudflare Workers, with every step addressable via ?scene=&step=.

Useful for
  • Build a steppable animation of a code change and embed it in docs or a blog post
  • Render a single scene frame as SVG via the Worker /frame.svg endpoint
  • Check an animation for teleports and flicker with the verify:motion command

5.4 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 24, 2026, 18:51 UTC.

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

Stars per day

050100October 23, 2026October 24, 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 2026-10-24 (UTC), 09:35–18:41: 118 → 185 stars (+67). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +86 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 185 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #117.
  • About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @adewale (246 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed 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.
