## Useful for

- Open and edit .docx in a native app on macOS, Windows, Linux or BSD
- Convert a document to PDF, ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown or PNG via wordcraft-cli
- Automate document edits through the MCP server or JSON command channel

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 13:29–15:43: 67 → 101 stars (+34). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +46 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 0 days old and already has 101 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #149.
- About 209 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: 49
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 46 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 11

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-04 … 2026-10-07: 0, 0, 0, 34

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.
Data as of 2026-10-07 15:45 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
