Are y’all out here really stressing over GitHub stars?

What in the world…

Write some unit tests, put a benchmark together, show me example commands to get started, ANYTHING substantial will mean much more to potential new users than seeing how many GitHub stars you have.

Just my two cents, I think this is WAY off the mark.

It resets watchers also and people subscribed to issues. That negatively impacts the project

Ah, I didn’t know that.

Well! I’m the fool, it seems. That actually sounds terrible and rather substantial. You’d think there’d be an Undo for that.
