Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Oct 24, 2016 to Oct 27, 2016: about 125 more stars than usual, peak 71 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.

• 2.7k stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
• 7 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.

• The star history looks organic.
• 2710 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
