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 nodejs/node

How many stars does nodejs/node have?
GitHub currently reports 121,945 stars for nodejs/node. 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 node?
gitdebt observed about 309 public star actions for nodejs/node over the latest 90 days of archive coverage (about 288 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 node still active?
Public archive data shows about 288 star actions for nodejs/node in the latest 30 days of coverage. For repository activity, use the commit heatmap, commit trend, and contributor charts on this page.
When was node created?
nodejs/node was created on November 26, 2014. The first public star activity observed for nodejs/node is from Nov 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.
