Weekly average
Derived only from GitHub GraphQL starredAt events after daily star totals are reconciled.
180 observed daily rows. Missing days are not fabricated.
40% Hot today + 40% Hot this week + 20% Breakout.
Per-day formula: 0.40 × Hot today + 0.40 × Hot week + 0.20 × Breakout.

Weekly average
Derived from the displayed continuity, closure, shipping, liveness, and support-burden components.
180 observed daily rows. Missing days are not fabricated.
30% Continuity + 30% Closure + 20% Shipping + 10% Liveness + 10% Support burden.
Per-day formula: 0.30 × Continuity + 0.30 × Closure + 0.20 × Shipping + 0.10 × Liveness + 0.10 × Support burden.
Stars, issues, pull requests, and releases are daily observations. Pushed-days and license are repository snapshot-derived inputs and are not independent historical GitHub events.

Reliability breakdown
Component scores measured daily from GitHub activity (2026-07-18).
Activity on 62 of 90 tracked days in the last 90 and 22 of 30 in the last 30.
Merged 83 of 105 PRs opened and closed 23 of 22 issues opened over the last 90 tracked days — PR flow carries 55% of this component, issue flow 45%.
0 releases in the last 180 days, 0 in the last 90 and 0 in the last 30 — a steady cadence scores highest.
Last push 0 days ago — freshness decays as pushes age (roughly halves every 83 days without a push).
79 open issues against 6,208 stars — about 13 open issues per 1,000 stars. Lighter backlogs score higher.
Modeled — lower is better; concentration of commits in few maintainers. Contributors graph

Daily ratio — a gap means nothing was opened that day
How this works: each day's value is issues closed that day ÷ issues opened that day. Days when nothing was opened render as gaps — never a rolling average or a made-up zero. Values above 1 mean the project closed more issues than arrived that day.

34 observed daily rows. Missing days are not fabricated.
Per-day formula: issues closed that day ÷ issues opened that day; blank when nothing was opened (a gap, not a zero).

markdownlint is a Node.js linter for Markdown and CommonMark files. It checks documents against configurable style and structure rules, such as heading consistency, list formatting, and spacing conventions, then reports issues for cleanup. It is commonly used in documentation repositories, README maintenance, static site content pipelines, and editorial workflows where teams keep Markdown quality and formatting consistent.
