3.6 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 24, 2026, 09:04 UTC.

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

Stars per day

04080July 27, 2026October 24, 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 2026-10-24 (UTC), 07:31–08:55: 78011 → 78025 stars (+14). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +42 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Hacker News: “OBS Studio 33” — 113 points, 4 h ago.
  • About 20 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 389. -16% 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.
