Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 100% 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
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- Apr 4, 2019 to Apr 17, 2019: about 917 more stars than usual, peak 358 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in forks.
- Aug 12, 2022 to Aug 14, 2022: about 57 more stars than usual, peak 26 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- Oct 17, 2023 to Oct 19, 2023: about 27 more stars than usual, peak 16 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
- Nov 27, 2023 to Nov 29, 2023: about 72 more stars than usual, peak 38 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
