What happened to the repos we covered in Q1 2026
2026-09-22
We reviewed 32 repositories in Q1 2026. For 7 of them we recorded the star count on the day of coverage, so the change between then and September 2026 can be verified.
They grew because we are already in the AI era and people are trying everything to automate everything.
The numbers
The 7 repositories with a star baseline held 704,776 stars between them on the day each was covered. Today they hold 1,027,348, a change of +322,572 (+45.8%).
7 gained stars.
25 of the 32 repositories have no star count recorded from the day they were covered, so no change can be stated for them. They are listed below without a delta. We do not estimate figures we did not capture.

Biggest gainer
NousResearch/hermes-agent went from 25,900 stars on 2026-03-05 to 244,461, a gain of +218,561 (+843.9%). It is very useful in automation, incredible useful but now the other LLMs have evolved.
How these numbers were collected
"Stars then" is the count recorded by our pipeline on the day the repository was reviewed, between 2026-01-01 and 2026-03-31. "Stars now" is the count from the GitHub API on 2026-09-13. Both are stored per repository in our star history dataset. We did not run or test any of these projects; every figure is a count, not an assessment.
Each repository links to its own page on https://githubtrends.app, which carries the video review and the full coverage record.
