Quick update: star history is from the full report of Oct 14, 2026.

Caution

One person wrote most of the recent commits.

## Why

- One person wrote 98% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. ([source 1](https://github.com/meta/docusaurus/commits), [source 2](https://github.com/meta/docusaurus/graphs/contributors))

### What would change this

- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)

## Stars

Complete

Organic, confidence high

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

### Bursts

- **Dec 14, 2017 to Jan 17, 2018**: about 5k more stars than usual, peak 518 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks.
- **Aug 28, 2018 to Aug 29, 2018**: about 50 more stars than usual, peak 48 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **Jan 30, 2019 to Feb 1, 2019**: about 61 more stars than usual, peak 42 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **Jul 11, 2019 to Jul 18, 2019**: about 234 more stars than usual, peak 72 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **Jan 7, 2020 to Jan 10, 2020**: about 259 more stars than usual, peak 102 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- **Jun 26, 2021 to Jun 27, 2021**: about 423 more stars than usual, peak 382 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- **Aug 1, 2022 to Aug 11, 2022**: about 1.1k more stars than usual, peak 431 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post.
- **Jan 19, 2023 to Jan 20, 2023**: about 153 more stars than usual, peak 143 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.

- 6 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

- The star history looks organic.
- Star history from the full report of Oct 14, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
