Daily Stars Explorer

The tool provides a visual exploration of a GitHub repository’s full history, showing daily star counts, hourly star activity with timezone support, and timelines for commits, pull requests, issues, forks, and contributors. Users can compare two repositories side‑by‑side, bookmark favorites, and view external mentions from Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, and GitHub. Data can be exported in CSV or JSON format, and a dark mode is available for easier viewing.

It is aimed at developers, project maintainers, and anyone interested in tracking community interest and growth patterns of open‑source projects. By presenting granular star data—especially for repositories with tens of thousands of stars—it helps users assess momentum, identify viral events, and make informed decisions about which libraries to adopt or contribute to.

The application is open‑source under the MIT license, self‑hostable via Docker, and requires only a GitHub personal access token for API access. It runs locally without signup, cookies, or ads, and includes a live demo for quick evaluation.
