Why FeaturedIt passes every Featured gate.
What it meets
- Its use signals read: binary downloads 26324, Homebrew unknown, Repology families unknown, Docker growth unknown. Featured needs 2 of these to reach their limits.
- It also passes the repository route, which counts as one use signal: 33,925 stars, 1,795 forks and 116 contributors. It needs 4,539 stars, 434 forks and 79 contributors together.
- The last activity is on 30 Jun 2026, 132 days ago. The rules expect an update within 365 days. Dormancy rule
Not measured: First release.
Exact rules: Featured app. The check on applied thresholds version 9.
