Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 15:56–16:52: 38 → 38 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 38 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

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.
