01Day 3

pg83/shitty

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews

A terminal emulator built for low latency and fast startup, keeping terminal state on the CPU and rendering cells through Vulkan on Linux and Metal on macOS. The README publishes head to head throughput against ghostty, alacritty and kitty with every terminal equalised first, which is unusual enough to be worth noting. The same code ships under two names for people who would rather not type the first one.

Flagged 5 August 2026 · 217 → 320 stars · +47.5%

Signal

Stars 228 to 259, up 13.6%, and open issues 3 to 4, while HackerNews comments barely moved. Third appearance, and this is where a thread and a trend separate.

02Day 2

veedstudio/open-edit

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews

An open source video editing pipeline from VEED that has no timeline and no interface. Editing happens entirely through a coding agent: cut and reframe footage, layer motion graphics, turn slides or web pages into video. Source footage is optional, since stills and generated media are enough for some briefs. The renderer is free to use but closed, while everything driving it is open.

Flagged 6 August 2026 · 141 → 251 stars · +78%

Signal

Stars 141 to 172, up 22%, and forks 8 to 12, up 50%. Forks outpacing stars again on the second day. At this size a dozen people move it, so the direction carries the information rather than the magnitude.

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.
