Actively maintained by 25 people, no known risks.

## Why

No warning signs: none of the [verdict rules](https://reporadar.ai/methodology) applied to this repo.

### What would change this

- 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.)
- A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

## Stars

Complete

Organic, confidence high

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

### Bursts

- **Dec 18, 2016 to Dec 20, 2016**: about 68 more stars than usual, peak 51 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **May 29, 2020 to May 29, 2020**: about 51 more stars than usual, peak 57 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- **Jul 18, 2020 to Jul 19, 2020**: about 137 more stars than usual, peak 81 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- **Mar 16, 2021 to Mar 19, 2021**: about 313 more stars than usual, peak 126 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- **May 27, 2022 to May 27, 2022**: about 59 more stars than usual, peak 66 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.

- The star history was reset at some point, so earlier stars aren't counted.
- 1 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 14, 2026).

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

- The star history looks organic.
- The star history has a zero run of 26 weeks or more, so the analysis starts after it.
- Star history from the full report of Oct 14, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
