chenglou/pretext has 50.9k stars and gained +376 of them in the last 30 days, a 0.7% change. It is written in TypeScript, grouped under devtools, web-frontend, released under NOASSERTION. A merged pull request waits a median of 1m from opening to merge, measured on 190 pull requests. Last pushed on 15 Oct 2026.
Star growth per time window: stars gained, growth percentage, the star count at the start of the period, and whether the figure was measured from our own two-hour intraday snapshots, daily snapshots, or GitHub’s rebuilt star history, for the last 6 hours, the last 12 hours, today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days, and the last year. A period with no current measurement is left blank rather than shown as zero.

A period with no current measurement is left blank: a delta needs a measurement at both ends of the period. The 6- and 12-hour periods need two intraday measurements exactly that far apart, the day-and-longer periods need snapshots on both dates, and the last year also needs star history from a year ago, which we keep for one year.
Copy either snippet into the repository's README. The badge shows total stars and the gain over the last 7d (the same window as the one below) and is hotlinked directly, with no account or token.

The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust. IntelliJ IDEA–style keymap, tool windows and search-everywhere in a fast native app: editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients for 60+ languages.
Stars: 50.7k when it entered our index, 50.9k on the last capture we hold (23 Oct 2026), so +229 in that span. That span is our own measurement window, not a claim about what happened before it.
It has never shown up on GitHub Trending while we were watching, so there is no arrival to compare against.
We hold 3 mentions for it, the oldest dated 17 Jul 2026 and the first written into our database on 14 Oct 2026. Thread dates come from the source, not from when we fetched them.

Re the text rendering, isn't something like pretext supposed to handle this efficiently? https://pretextjs.dev/pretext-demo/showcase-mesmerizing-anim... https://github.com/chenglou/pretext

Reddit (fetched when this page is opened)
A Reddit search for github.com/chenglou/pretext runs while this page is rendered, at most once every 6 hours per repository. What it finds is stored in our database (25 posts per fetch, at most 200 repositories a day), so the numbers on this site can be reproduced later. Reddit's feed has no scores or comment counts, so none are shown.
