4.2 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 7, 2026, 16:37 UTC.

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

Stars per day

01225October 4, 2026October 7, 2026

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 15:24–16:37: 73 → 94 stars (+21). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +27 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 0 days old and already has 94 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #169.
  • About 140 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

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.
