The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:28: 254 → 258 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +48 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 258 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @brandonmcconnell (280 followers).

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.
