This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +41 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed. - 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: 118 - Issues and pull requests: 788 - Watchers: 5 - Average over the last week: 88 per day - Usual pace: 3 per day - Stars in the last hour (measured): 2 - Latest release: v0.37.0 (2026-11-08) ## Stars per day, last 30 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-11 … 2026-11-09: 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 3, 4, 0, 4, 1, 1, 1, 10, 6, 6, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 3, 6, 9, 7, 132, 196, 189, 45, 2 ## Magnitude by day, last 3 days 11-07 5.7, 11-08 5.8, 11-09 4.0 ## More in this category 1. **wquguru/cicada** — 6.1 · Peaking · Productivity & self-hosted · Swift · +31 stars measured 2026-11-09, 00:02–02:09 UTC, ≈ 275 by evening A macOS app that provides live bilingual subtitles, simultaneous interpreting and structured meeting notes for any call or stream by capturing system audio and running speech recognition locally.

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.
