Caution

Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.

Why

One person wrote 76% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)

What would change this

A second person takes a substantial share of commits.

Stars

Organic, confidence high

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

Bursts

Dec 23, 2024 to Dec 27, 2024: about 142 more stars than usual, peak 43 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
Jan 6, 2025 to Jan 7, 2025: about 93 more stars than usual, peak 85 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Jul 31, 2025 to Aug 1, 2025: about 232 more stars than usual, peak 186 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
May 2, 2026 to May 3, 2026: about 23 more stars than usual, peak 17 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 15, 2026).

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

The star history looks organic.
