How this item is evaluated

RepoRadar assigned cathrynlavery/diagram-design a composite score of 8.0 out of 10, placing it in the Gold tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 1.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'low' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation

The 2; 705* / 202-fork repo is widely used (Cathryn Lavery publishes from littlemight.com + runs BestSelf.co) but the diagrams are editorial-quality by design -- 'the highest-quality move is usually deletion'; the consumer SHOULD review the style guide + the onboarding spec before customizing per brand; the brand-onboarding flow depends on the consumer's website being reachable + having an extractable palette + font stack.
