## Useful for

- Render long books through ElevenLabs or OpenAI by pasting your own API key

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:05–01:36: 83 → 84 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 5 days old and already has 84 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #194.

## 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: 7
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 16 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-11 … 2026-10-16: 2, 30, 28, 14, 10, 1

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.
