Why

What would change this

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bars show stars gained each week. Orange bars overlap a burst.

Bursts

May 16, 2025 to May 16, 2025: about 30 more stars than usual, peak 33 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.

Engagement is low for a repo this size (forks, watchers, issues, contributors).
2 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 15, 2026).

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

Forks, watchers, issues, and contributors are low for the number of stars.
