UNLOCK LINUX'S FULL RECORD
linux sits #16 of every public repository, climbing 181★/day and ~1y 1mo from the top 10. Right now that is a snapshot. The hour-by-hour record of how it got here, and where it is heading, only exists from the moment you start charting it.
GITHUB IS ERASING YOUR EVIDENCE
two clocks running against youGitHub deletes your traffic — clones, views and referrers — every 14 days, and star history cannot be backfilled. The forensic truth about linux only exists from the day tracking starts. linux added ~1,268 stars in the last 7 days alone — none of it on a record yet.
THIS IS WHAT TRACKING LINUX LOOKS LIKE
no mockups · real dataWe have been recording linux's world rank for 75 days. Tracking unlocks the recorded trajectory, and the recording continues from here. Today's worldwide standing can only be captured today, so your record only deepens from the day you start.

THE DATA IS NEVER FOR SALE. Paying never moves a pixel of linux's chart, or anyone's. You buy the operation and your own history — never position.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Can't I just self-host it for free?
Yes — it is MIT and deploys in about five minutes. You run the collector, manage the GitHub quota and keep it alive. Hosted is the same product with zero ops, and it starts recording the second you click, not the day you finish a deploy.
Why can't you backfill my history?
GitHub caps how far back its API goes, and the public archives miss viral bursts. The hour-by-hour truth of how a repo grew only exists from the moment tracking starts. Every day you wait is gone for good.
Do you sell my data, or move my position?
Never. It is public GitHub data, never for sale, and paying never moves a single pixel of any chart — not yours, not anyone's. You buy the operation and your own record, never position.
Can I cancel? Is the history mine?
Cancel anytime. Every day you recorded is yours to export and keep — paying buys the operation, not a hostage.
Who pays — me, or my employer?
Team and Business are built for the company to pay. A maintainer should never pay out of pocket to track the repo they keep alive for their employer.
Or follow repos free in your Constellation and watch them move, no signup.
NOT A CUSTOMER, A PATRON?
If you just want the public telemetry to stay free and independent, that path exists too: sponsorship funds the mission and buys exactly zero influence.
