## Useful for

- Install Waze on cluster from the Store to show CarPlay maps on the instrument cluster
- Build and test cluster-render and waze-on-cluster with make and Docker
- Pack and publish app artifacts to the Store catalog with release.js

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-04 (UTC), 00:17–01:48: 171 → 174 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +32 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 174 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.
- About 13 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.

## Numbers

- Forks: 37
- Issues and pull requests: 55
- Watchers: 9
- Average over the last week: 41 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3
- Latest release: robertn_waze_cluster@0.5.0 (2026-11-03)

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
