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
- Tackles WiFi sensing's core problem, that every room reflects signals differently, with domain-adversarial training that cuts cross-environment accuracy loss from 40 to 70 percent down to under 15 percent after a 10-second calibration.
- Opens up privacy-preserving sensing for hospitals, smart homes, elder care, and security, anywhere you want presence and health data without cameras.
- Runs 24 hot-loadable WASM modules on-device on the ESP32-S3, so you can extend the firmware without reflashing.
under the hood
- A Rust sensing server in a 132 MB Docker image, with a Python ML pipeline for training custom models.
- For through-wall tracking, 3 to 6 ESP32-S3 nodes form a multistatic mesh, each both transmitter and receiver, time-multiplexed to avoid interference.
- No special hardware is needed to try it; a single docker run command spins up a full simulated pipeline with synthetic data.

star history
- PR#29 29k 2026-03-11
- now 90k + 61k 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
Output and attention are roughly in balance.
- 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 →
