What this does not show

  • Stars measure attention, not revenue, adoption or retention.
  • Each point is a month-end reading reconstructed from public event data, not a direct observation. Movement inside a month is invisible here, and the level can be understated.
  • A single launch post can produce a step like this without any change in usage.

We have been recording better-auth/better-auth since 1 Sep 2024.

Finding companies at that stage is the product. Contributor pedigree, enterprise-demand signals and our ranking sit behind the login.
