## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-04 (UTC), 00:17–01:50: 1842 → 1849 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +60 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 38% of the previous week and a half.
- The repository is 26 days old and already has 1,849 stars.
- Top new repositories this month: #99.
- About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-11-04 01:58 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
