Why this classification

  • Search attention is cooling recently but remains above the same period last year. A pullback is not a long-term decline.
  • Median weekly search interest fell 52% across two consecutive eight-week windows.
  • 112 matching active repositories; this is search coverage, not a count of direct competitors.
  • Four-week search change: -29%; thirteen-week change: -34%. These windows check the direction of the eight-week comparison.

Limits of this result

  • Google Trends measures relative search attention, not customers, revenue or willingness to pay.
  • Supply counts active repositories matching the displayed GitHub topic and phrase queries; unmatched and closed-source competitors are outside this coverage.
  • Repository density and search attention are separate observations. Neither proves commercial competition or demand.

Search interest measures attention, not paying customers. Classification thresholds are published heuristics and still require empirical calibration.
