Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Apr 27, 2013 to Apr 27, 2013: about 11 more stars than usual, peak 11 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Sep 10, 2014 to Sep 11, 2014: about 103 more stars than usual, peak 67 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Sep 25, 2015 to Sep 26, 2015: about 90 more stars than usual, peak 83 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jan 1, 2016 to Jan 2, 2016: about 55 more stars than usual, peak 53 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jan 2, 2017 to Jan 6, 2017: about 82 more stars than usual, peak 30 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

• Nov 26, 2020 to Nov 27, 2020: about 55 more stars than usual, peak 38 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Dec 4, 2021 to Dec 5, 2021: about 88 more stars than usual, peak 82 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.
• Mar 10, 2024 to Mar 13, 2024: about 260 more stars than usual, peak 112 in one day, a shape we can't classify. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Apr 30, 2024 to May 2, 2024: about 124 more stars than usual, peak 62 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• May 24, 2024 to May 27, 2024: about 289 more stars than usual, peak 240 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.

• 704 stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
• 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.
• 704 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
