reflex-dev/xy

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 → 1,895 stars · +88.2%

Signal

Weekly downloads 7,109 to 9,386, up 32% in a day, against stars up 1.8%. Downloads growing eighteen times faster than attention, and the week over week rate itself up 81%.

antirez/h3.c

Repository · seen by GitHub, HackerNews

An inference engine written in C that runs the MiniMax H3 language model on Apple hardware, from Salvatore Sanfilippo, who wrote Redis. Its claim is that a model this size can be served from one self contained C program with no Python runtime and no framework at all. That matters because the usual stack is several gigabytes of dependencies before the model itself is even loaded.

Flagged 12 August 2026 · 1,432 → 2,952 stars · +106.1%

Signal

Stars 533 to 1,432 in a day, up 168.7%, with forks up 184%, open issues up 550% and HackerNews comments up 481%. 71 forks on 1,432 stars is a 5% ratio within hours, and 13 open issues means people are running it on their own machines rather than reading the README.

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.
