headroom is Repository Radar's Repository of the Month 🗜️

[ahkdees]

Hi all 👋

I write Repository Radar, a newsletter that curates and tracks open source projects. Every month we name a Repository of the Month: the project we cover that grew the fastest. For June, that was headroom.

Here's the fun part. We first flagged headroom in early June as a small watchlist pick, sitting at around 6k stars. Four weeks later you were the headline. You went from roughly 3k to 54k stars inside the month, about 18x, the steepest climb on any of our boards. We'd love to pretend we saw the whole thing coming. We're at least glad we got there first.

One thing did tip us off, actually. Back in April you quietly topped a different board of ours, the one for projects shipping way more than their star count suggests. Turns out that was the warm up.

A few things for you, if useful:

• Your page with our method and the live numbers: repositoryradar.dev/repo/headroomlabs-ai/headroom
• A "featured on Repository Radar" badge on that page, yours to drop in the README
• We first covered you in PR#35, and the latest issues live on the Substack

No ask, no catch. Just wanted to say the compression work clearly struck a nerve. Keep shipping! 🚢🚢🚢
