Quick update: star history is from the full report of Oct 25, 2026.

Caution

One person wrote most of the recent commits.

## Why

- One person wrote 99% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. ([source 1](https://github.com/pass-with-high-score/blockads-android/commits), [source 2](https://github.com/pass-with-high-score/blockads-android/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

Organic, confidence medium

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

### Bursts

- **Jun 20, 2026 to Jun 20, 2026**: about 39 more stars than usual, peak 44 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- **Jul 5, 2026 to Jul 7, 2026**: about 234 more stars than usual, peak 105 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **Aug 2, 2026 to Aug 3, 2026**: about 40 more stars than usual, peak 37 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- **Aug 31, 2026 to Sep 3, 2026**: about 109 more stars than usual, peak 47 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- **Oct 23, 2026 to Oct 24, 2026**: about 68 more stars than usual, peak 59 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.

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