Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews

An Android file viewer that opens PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, video, audio, Markdown and code in one app, entirely on the device. It is about 8 MB, holds no permissions at all and does not even request internet access, so it cannot send a file anywhere. The gap it fills is that most phones ship several partial viewers that bounce documents to a cloud service to render them.

Flagged 3 August 2026 · 293 → 439 stars · +49.8%

Signal

Stars 254 to 293, up 15.4%, and forks 2 to 4. An offline Android file viewer holding no permissions at all is a specific enough claim to attract either real users or real scepticism.

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews, npm / PyPI

A charting library for Python, from the team behind the Reflex web framework. It renders interactive charts directly from Python objects, so the analysis and the chart live in the same place instead of the data being handed to a JavaScript layer to draw. It ships on PyPI, and that is what makes the adoption measurable: a download is someone installing it into a project, a star is someone bookmarking it, and those two numbers have been moving in opposite directions here for two weeks.

Flagged 31 July 2026 · 1,007 → 1,894 stars · +88.1%

Signal

Npm downloads rose from 2,613 to 2,779 as the week-over-week growth rate reached 38.3%. GitHub stars increased from 1,233 to 1,301 and forks from 42 to 45, with additional Hacker News attention. The figures show rising usage and developer interest, though each platform measures a different activity.

How to read this

Method

Every riser shows the earlier and latest reading. Count-based signals also show their percentage change. Rankings show the number of positions climbed from the earlier position to the latest one; a lower position is better.

Funding rounds show disclosed amounts and targets. Company rank movement shows a third-party 90-day momentum signal, current position and observation date. Archived briefings preserve each day’s published signals and follow-ups.
