1.1 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 20, 2026, 11:53 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0510July 23, 2026October 20, 2026

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 2026-10-20 (UTC), 10:54–11:50: 5053 → 5053 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • GitHub Trending C++ today: #8, +7 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 22. +38% 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.
