Compounding · Discussion moved +577.8% and stars total moved +200.0% — moving together. (as of 2026·08·12)
Distinct voices per mention. 1.00 means every mention came from a different person; a low number means a handful of people are driving the volume. Authors are counted once per day, so someone who posts across several days counts more than once over the whole window. The figure can overstate breadth, never understate it.
A wave of praise on a forum and a rapidly filling issue tracker both show up as “mentions up” until you see where they came from.
Most opinion points the same way, so the average sentiment reads as a verdict rather than two sides cancelling out.
