I don't understand.

@juliagoda I'd like to be constructive - are you OK with including this link (only) after we have started being active e.g. releasing some fixes & improvements?
This is a pretty awesome and unique app, but it has a rough history. (qjoypad, antimicro, antimicrox...)
I understand that you have little capacity to maintain the app, but it makes sense to let users find newer versions to keep using it.
I would appreciate if you could communicate some clear requirements on this process, or would just state why you are not willing to include links to forks.

Why? Because I no longer understand what is actually happening. I've pinned a continuation thread and added a link to the new repo in the README, while @pktiuk (yesterday) appears and removes the star he once added (he wanted to tell me something like that... show me something? What am I supposed to mean by that?), and today he is restoring it again after removing the references. After all, that's why users add and receive such things so that the author and other users can see it, right? So what was the point of doing something like that? It is not about the star itself (After all, one star does not change anything), but it is about showing something. The question is what, right? Well, by mistake, you cannot really do something like that. I could understand an ordinary user, but why did YOU think of this?

The fact that @pktiuk removed the star from the repository in which he was involved looks strange by all means. It looks even weirder that he restored it after the reference was removed. If something needs to be clarified, that's it.

In terms of stars I was checking how quickly site measuring stars works (https://star-history.t9t.io/?ref=producthunt#juliagoda/antimicroX), I wanted to check if is it possible to somehow extract raw star count and put it as html snippet into Issue

Wanted to put two counters for stars in issue about promoting an app, it would allow easy tracking stars without going into this site, or maybe even put these graphs there)

Ah of course. Instead of trying on your own, you did it on this one... Sounds sensible and convincing, seriously. Seriously, do you know that it looks hilarious to an outsider? Focus on what's yours now and not on testing random pages. And if you're already testing them, you should do it on a test repository or on your own.

If you want, I can just pass this repository to someone you can trust more.

I can just return to being a regular contributor, if you think that making this stupid mistake makes me malicious.

No, because everyone has the right to take over. If another developer had written to me with an idea for his own fork, I would have given another reference in the README. Not only that, he or she or even they don't have to ask me about it at all. This is about basic cultural principles. But if that's what it looks like and it's only about the stars, you'll have to earn them somehow with your hard work and marketing. Nobody has distributed me either.

I still don't know what to do to avoid hurting this project.

Take yourself together and stop sulking. If you do your job well this repository will promote itself anyway. You've made a mistake, it happens and take the consequences on your chest.
