## Useful for

- Check which social networks a given username is registered on
- Export found accounts to CSV, XLSX or JSON for a report
- Run the search through a proxy or limit it to specific sites

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 00:22–12:43: 93350 → 93379 stars (+29). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +59 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 15 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: 11,033
- Issues and pull requests: 2,859
- Watchers: 1,443
- Average over the last week: 57 per day
- Usual pace: 90 per day
- Latest release: v0.16.2 (2026-09-08)

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.
