       Show HN: Generate a video to animate stars of any GitHub repository
        
       I made this as a fun tiny project to experiment with Remotion [1]
       to generate videos. You can find the source code on GitHub [2].

       | Neat! There's something pretty satisfying about the animation :)

       | I wish I could tune the video duration and make the ones with
       | 100k+ stars go on fooooooooorever, maybe also with a (compressed)
       | timeline that shows roughly when "batches" of likes happen. Like
       | when you fast forward through a YouTube live recording with the
       | emoji

         | Yes I'll add more information about the project: example
         | output, how it works, tech stack, etc.

       | the duration from 0 to current stars?

         | Yes, I just changed it, makes more sense :)

       | The "404" animation is great

       | If this were done as an animated SVG, then it would be quite easy
       | to have this embedded so it is always up to date.
