Satisfying, well-designed animation
From 4 comments
Neat! There's something pretty satisfying about the animation :) I wish I could tune the video duration and make the ones with 100k+ stars go on fooooooooorever, maybe also with…
solardev on HNGreat work and cool-looking animation. Is there a way to extend the duration from 0 to current stars?

hosseinyazdii on HNThe "404" animation is great

Unclear why anyone would need an animation of star counts

Why would someone need an animation of a repo's GitHub stars? Showing off in a slide in a tech talk?

Add an example output to the README

Maybe add to readme example of output? Either gif/mp4 with segment of animation?

Embed as an animated SVG that stays up to date
From 1 comment
Funny! Nice idea. If this were done as an animated SVG, then it would be quite easy to have this embedded so it is always up to date.
