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.

why it's a big deal
- Full privacy and no vendor lock-in since everything runs locally and you own your keys.
- Cross-platform support for Mac and Windows with no sign-up required.
- Open-source under Apache 2.0 (core) with a Functional Source License for pro features, so it stays forkable.

- Supports multiple LLM providers including DeepSeek, Qwen, and local Ollama models.
- Active release cadence (60+ releases) with growing community on Reddit.
