How many stars does getify/you-dont-know-js have?
GitHub currently reports 184,907 stars for getify/you-dont-know-js. 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.

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.

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.
