Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 10:33 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
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 2026-10-18 (UTC), 00:22–10:25: 190778 → 190827 stars (+49). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +127 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 18 forks a day — people are taking the code.

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.
