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
- Packages the design system that grew inside Meta over eight years, where it reportedly became the company's most-used system powering 13,000+ apps, and releases it under MIT for outside teams.
- Ships 150+ accessible components with seven ready-made themes and dark mode, so teams get a large component library and theming without building it from scratch.
- Exposes the same API and conventions to human developers and AI agents, which matters for teams that want coding assistants to work in the same design system.
under the hood
- Built with React and StyleX in TypeScript, with theming handled through CSS custom properties rather than component wrapping.
- Imports pre-built CSS directly, so it needs no build plugin, and it avoids styling lock-in by allowing overrides with Tailwind, CSS modules, or plain CSS.
- Provides CLI tooling for documentation, scaffolding, and theming, plus component swizzling to eject source code into a project for customization.

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
Deep in the understory, shipping hard, still flying under the radar.
- 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 →
