Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Apr 21, 2017 to Apr 26, 2017: about 752 more stars than usual, peak 198 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jul 27, 2017 to Aug 11, 2017: about 1.3k more stars than usual, peak 272 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Sep 19, 2017 to Sep 22, 2017: about 182 more stars than usual, peak 76 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jan 8, 2018 to Jan 12, 2018: about 428 more stars than usual, peak 212 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Aug 4, 2019 to Aug 8, 2019: about 427 more stars than usual, peak 187 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Feb 8, 2020 to Feb 9, 2020: about 121 more stars than usual, peak 80 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Feb 21, 2020 to Feb 22, 2020: about 80 more stars than usual, peak 87 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Apr 9, 2020 to Apr 10, 2020: about 81 more stars than usual, peak 74 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• May 29, 2022 to Jun 1, 2022: about 312 more stars than usual, peak 139 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
• Oct 31, 2023 to Nov 3, 2023: about 308 more stars than usual, peak 152 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

• 2 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.
