Stars

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bursts

• Jan 12, 2017 to Jan 16, 2017: about 179 more stars than usual, peak 94 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Mar 30, 2020 to Apr 1, 2020: about 155 more stars than usual, peak 111 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Jan 9, 2021 to Jan 12, 2021: about 361 more stars than usual, peak 137 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
• Aug 1, 2021 to Aug 3, 2021: about 241 more stars than usual, peak 120 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
• Nov 14, 2021 to Nov 15, 2021: about 69 more stars than usual, peak 67 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

• Oct 30, 2023 to Nov 3, 2023: about 185 more stars than usual, peak 80 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
• Aug 26, 2024 to Aug 27, 2024: about 139 more stars than usual, peak 119 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
• Apr 3, 2026 to Apr 9, 2026: about 824 more stars than usual, peak 276 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

• 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.

• Some star bursts have no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
• Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
