- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 21:30–23:39: 160 → 290 stars (+130). This is the change over that interval.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 290 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #65.
- About 229 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

- Issues and pull requests: 11
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 131 per day

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.
