## Useful for

- Translate a manga chapter from a PDF or archive locally without sending data to the cloud
- Replace source text with the translation using inpainting and vertical CJK layout
- Proofread and fix OCR and translation errors before exporting to layered PSD

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-15 (UTC), 11:22–12:57: 6297 → 6299 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +26 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.3× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending Rust today: #2, +100 stars.
- About 12 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: 449
- Issues and pull requests: 1,214

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.
