## Useful for

- Replace tsc with tsc-rs to speed up type checking in a project
- Run type checking in CI via npx tsc-rs -p tsconfig.json
- Check an Effect project with Effect diagnostics without a second compiler

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 12:39–15:23: 138 → 265 stars (+127). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +171 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 265 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #41.
- About 94 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @kdy1 (4,514 followers), @MaTriXy (220 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

## Numbers

- Forks: 13
- Issues and pull requests: 18
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 171 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

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.
