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
- 0 stars so far today, about 10 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 3 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 55 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #194.

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.
