## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-01 (UTC), 11:01–14:35: 40002 → 40001 stars (-1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +4 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 3.3× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending TypeScript today: #11, +26 stars.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- The repository is archived — the author no longer develops it.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

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.
