- Open a .fig file and keep working without an account or telemetry

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-13 (UTC), 12:26–14:09: 107 → 142 stars (+35). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +49 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 142 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #129.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @6174 (307 followers).

## 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: 64
- Issues and pull requests: 211
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 11 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 20
- Latest release: v0.5.1 (2026-10-12)

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
