Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 29, 2026, 16:21 UTC.
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 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:03–16:06: 18487 → 18831 stars (+344). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +504 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 18× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- About 55 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 833. +437% versus the preceding 7 days.

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.
