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 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:04–01:32: 38002 → 38004 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +18 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 46% of the previous week and a half.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 365. +212% 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.
