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

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 12, 2026, 22:04 UTC.

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

Stars per day

048August 29, 2026October 12, 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 2026-10-12 (UTC), 20:23–22:02: 19 → 19 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • The repository is 44 days old and already has 19 stars.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Convkit – A command line tool for converting images/video/docs offline” — 8 points, 5 days ago.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @dorucioclea (314 followers).

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.
