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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 24, 2026, 10:25 UTC.

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

Stars per day

0100200August 5, 2026November 2, 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), 00:09–10:21: 14013 → 14017 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +12 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Interest is fading: the two-day pace is 24% of the previous week and a half.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed 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.
