Updating Typst Contributor and Github Statistics

General
1

The home page for Typst currently still has listed

" The Typst compiler is open-source software with 350+ contributors and 45K stars on GitHub."

despite the Github page listing at this point nearly 55K Github stars and nearly 450 Contributors. I’m curious if there just hasn’t been time to update it, or if there’s rules for when these statistics actually get updated, since Stars could’ve been moved up to 50K and Contributors could be upped to 400.

This was also asked on Discord.

Here’s the reply from @laurmaedje in January 2026:

we actually have automation to keep this up to date, but we disabled it because of some issue…

Hmm, curious that they haven’t decided to perform ad hoc fixes for the bigger milestones while they figure out how to fix the automation scripts.

We’re just always busy, but I’ve updated it just now.
