This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +23 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 4 days old and already has 107 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #190. - About 11 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: 18 - Issues and pull requests: 7 - Watchers: 1 - Average over the last week: 26 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): -1 - Latest release: v0.4.3 (2026-10-30) ## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-27 … 2026-10-31: 0, 25, 55, 28, 0 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #190 ## More in this category 1. **valentderah/totk-pc-recomp** — 8.1 · Breakout · Games & graphics · C · +75 stars measured 2026-10-31, 00:27–01:52 UTC, ≈ 870 by evening Static recompilation of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom into a native Windows x86-64 application with a Vulkan renderer.

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.
