About the project

CLI and TUI for Apache Kafka: inspect clusters, consume and produce messages, watch consumer lag, and manage topics from a single binary with no JVM.

Useful for
  • Inspect the last messages in a topic with ntk consume --from -10
  • Watch consumer group lag and catch-up rate with ntk group watch
  • Mirror a topic between clusters over a Unix socket keeping keys and headers

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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 13, 2026, 11:54 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 9, 2026October 13, 2026

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 2026-10-13 (UTC), 10:07–11:40: 102 → 103 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +27 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 4 days old and already has 103 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #188.

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.
