## Useful for

- Build a PDF with a unique floral margin on every page
- Add a vine-painted initial with \florilegiuminitial
- Render the same garden in pure PostScript via Ghostscript

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 16:12–18:33: 119 → 252 stars (+133). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +162 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 252 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #91.
- Hacker News: “Florilegium: Procedural Flowers in LaTeX” — 67 points, 3 h ago.
- About 22 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## 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: 6
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 162 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 80
- Latest release: v1.1 (2026-10-30)

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.
