6.5 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 02:09 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), 00:21–01:58: 134 → 156 stars (+22). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +161 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • The repository is 54 days old and already has 156 stars.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Esp32sim – Run ESP32 firmware in the browser” — 125 points, 12 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 145. +4733% versus the preceding 7 days.

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.
