Can’t imagine using my system without this.

    To be fair this is a terminal file manager… only a certain kind of person will be interested in the first place, and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.

    Personally I believe the stars were achieved naturally but of course there’s no way to know and it never hurts to be skeptical.

      that’s the point

      and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.

      I don’t see that connection. But you know what, here is an example.

      Broot is a similar program. It has been there for longer, has been loved by many, yet it has fewer stars.
      If I would know more of those like this, I would probably have more examples.

        Realised I never responded to this - I’ll hold the L on that reasoning, didn’t think that through. I grant that you may be right about the stars, but I’m still doubtful due to my anecdotal experience of seeing a lot of activity around the repo + discord server from 4k stars to over 10k (while I was following it semi-closely). Entirely possible though, of course.
