This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +31 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 235 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #154. - About 75 forks a day — people are taking the code. - Recent forks include notable developers: @ryzendew (276 followers). ## 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: 20 - Issues and pull requests: 11 - Watchers: 3 - Average over the last week: 42 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 20 - Latest release: nx2-build-34 (2026-11-01) ## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-31 … 2026-11-01: 52, 27 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #154 ## Similar by description 1. **Djihads80/Eglantine** — 7.6 · Breakout · Games & graphics · C++ · +653 stars measured 2026-11-01, 00:02–20:40 UTC, ≈ 752 by evening Eglantine is a free, open-source Nintendo Switch 2 emulator written in C++, derived from Eden, Yuzu and Sudachi.

Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Djihads80/Eglantine.md --- 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.
