## Useful for

- Build and flash the PaperMono with PlatformIO to get a fridge shopping list
- Deploy the FastAPI server with SQLite and open the phone web UI to add items
- Use the code as a starting point for custom PaperMono firmware with e-paper and touch UI

## Why it’s here

- 48 stars so far today, about 66 expected by the end of the day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 31 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## 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: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 33 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.
