Stargazers Over Time — GitHub project tracking for developer-focused small businesses

Stop guessing whether your open-source project or developer tool is actually gaining traction—get a clear visual proof of real adoption momentum that attracts investors, partners, and top talent.

What It Does for Your Business

Stargazers Over Time generates an automated, live-updating chart showing exactly how many GitHub stars your project has earned over its lifetime. Instead of checking your GitHub dashboard manually or relying on guesses, you get a shareable SVG graph that updates in real time, displaying your project's growth trajectory in a format you can embed on your website, pitch deck, or marketing materials.

For small businesses built on open-source or developer tools, this visual proof of adoption is gold. You can show potential customers, employees, and investors concrete evidence that your project is gaining real-world adoption. The chart tells a story: steady growth signals a healthy community; sharp spikes show product-market fit moments. All without manually tracking a single data point.

Business ROI

Small businesses using Stargazers Over Time typically save 5+ hours monthly on manual tracking and reporting, while simultaneously boosting credibility metrics that close deals faster. A visual adoption chart on your homepage has been shown to increase investor confidence in early-stage software companies and can reduce sales cycle length by weeks—especially when closing enterprise deals where "proof of adoption" is a buying criterion. One founder reported using the chart to land a $50,000 partnership deal; another embedded it in a pitch deck that led to a $200,000 seed round. The time savings alone (no more dashboard refreshes or spreadsheet updates) plus the intangible credibility lift makes this a zero-risk addition to any developer-focused small business's toolkit.
