    Neat! There's something pretty satisfying about the animation :)

    I wish I could tune the video duration and make the ones with 100k+ stars go on fooooooooorever, maybe also with a (compressed) timeline that shows roughly when "batches" of likes happen. Like when you fast forward through a YouTube live recording with the emoji

    Why would someone need an animation of a repo's GitHub stars? Showing off in a slide in a tech talk?

    Great work and cool-looking animation. Is there a way to extend the duration from 0 to current stars?

    Maybe add to readme example of output? Either gif/mp4 with segment of animation?

    Simple and intuitive. Love the scrolling animation of the user profiles. I guess if it were slightly slower, perhaps it would be better.

    Funny! Nice idea.

    If this were done as an animated SVG, then it would be quite easy to have this embedded so it is always up to date.

    The "404" animation is great
