Stars
CompleteNot enough data, confidence high
Bursts
- Aug 25, 2026 to Sep 17, 2026: about 14.8k more stars than usual, peak 2.7k in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Engagement is low for a repo this size (forks, watchers, issues, contributors).
- 22 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.
- Not enough star history yet to judge the star count.
