methodology

Fix-labelled changes, file change frequency, ownership concentration and maintenance cadence, each computed from this repository's analyzed commit window. None of them is derived from stars, which is why they are allowed to disagree with the curve above.

Notes on google/flatbuffers

How many stars does google/flatbuffers have?
GitHub currently reports 26,460 stars for google/flatbuffers. The chart itself is rebuilt from historical star data, which records star actions and not unstars, so it reads as an attention signal rather than a net star count.
What does recent star activity look like for flatbuffers?
gitdebt observed about 14 public star actions for google/flatbuffers over the latest 90 days of archive coverage (about 14 in the latest 30). This is an approximate attention signal, not a net-star count, because unstars are not present. That's below its lifetime average activity pace, which is common for mature projects.
Is flatbuffers still active?
Public archive data shows about 14 star actions for google/flatbuffers in the latest 30 days of coverage. For repository activity, use the commit heatmap, commit trend, and contributor charts on this page.
When was flatbuffers created?
google/flatbuffers was created on May 19, 2014. The first public star activity observed for google/flatbuffers is from Jun 2014.

Light and dark variants, alt text, and one provenance line. Provenance is text in your README, never baked into the image URL, so the chart stays cacheable.

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent with your checkout open. It carries the measured numbers, the exact snippets, and the rules — including replacing an existing star-history widget in place rather than stacking a second chart under it.
