bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.
since we covered it
why it's a big deal
- It carries the browser-use insight into a new medium - give the LLM a structured representation, a transcript plus an on-demand composite rather than a 30,000-frame firehose, and editing becomes a reasoning task instead of a vision-bandwidth problem.
- It ships as a skill you register with Claude Code, Codex, or any shell agent, so the editing craft travels with the agent rather than living locked inside a separate app.
- It closes its own loop - the agent self-evaluates the rendered output at every cut boundary and re-renders until it passes, so you only see work that already checked itself.
under the hood
- Layer one is an ElevenLabs Scribe transcript with word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, and audio events, packed into a roughly 12KB markdown file that serves as the agent’s primary reading surface.
- Layer two is a timeline view, an on-demand filmstrip plus waveform plus word-label composite the agent renders only at ambiguous decision points.
- A Transcribe to Pack to Reason to EDL to Render to Self-Eval pipeline on FFmpeg, with filler-word cuts, automatic color grading, 30ms audio fades, burned subtitles, and session memory persisted to project.md.

star history
- PR#37 12k 2026-07-01
- now 21k + 8k since first covered
curve is sampled from GitHub's star history, plus our own daily readings since we covered it; the dashed stretch is before we first covered it, the solid line since. figures at coverage are the numbers we printed then (approx.), current count is live.
understory
Better known than its recent output, coasting a little on attention.
- output, commits & releases
- clout, star velocity
output = commits & releases; clout = star velocity, both 0 to 100 monthly indices; the gap where output runs above clout is the understory. The understory →
