Seeking feedback: How useful is Daily Stars Explorer for you?

[emanuelef]

Hi everyone,

I started this project out of curiosity, I wanted to visualise how many stars a GitHub repository receives each day and how that trend evolves over time. From there, the project grew through a series of experimental ideas I wanted to try out, rather than following a defined roadmap or specific user feedback. The result is a somewhat messy, engineering-style UI that reflects this exploratory and unstructured approach.

To be honest, I'm still not entirely sure how useful this tool is to others. At some point, I even started seeing the stars not as a measure of popularity, but as just a metric to observe and analyse, detached from any particular meaning.
I’m fully aware that stars aren't a reliable indicator of a project's actual usefulness, I’ve come across incredibly valuable tools with very few stars, and others that gather massive star counts more for visibility or curation than practical utility.

That brings me to you:

• Do you use Daily Stars Explorer ? What features do you find most valuable ?
• Do you use the feeds or transform features ?
• Apart from star trends, do you also find the other timeline metrics useful, like forks, pull requests, issues, or contributors?
• Are there any improvements or ideas you’d like to see implemented ?

This project is something I maintain in the background, and I’d love to get a better sense of how it's being used, or how it could be more useful. Any feedback is appreciated, even short or critical ones.

Thanks!
