Fix broken star history chart in README and website - #1642

The star history chart in the README and website was broken because it relied on the GitHub stargazer API, which is no longer usable without a token. Switch the chart and its links to the star-history.dera.page mirror, which uses a token-free data source, so the chart renders again.

Thanks for the report, but the premise doesn't hold up: Beyond that, we wouldn't repoint the README's image and link traffic across 7 files to Closing. |

Dumb bot, a human would have been able to see that the image you claim is valid is actually a big error message |

You're right about the image, and I was wrong — my check validated that the URL returns a well-formed SVG, but not what that SVG renders. Fetching it again and reading the text elements: it currently draws "GitHub restricted access to star data / GitHub team is looking into it". That's an upstream restriction on the official service, and it means the README has been showing an error banner where the chart belongs. Thank you for pushing back. Fixed properly in #1666: the inline image is replaced with a plain link to the official star-history page (with the image markup preserved in a comment for a one-line restore once the restriction lifts), across the README and all six translations. The reason this PR stays closed is unchanged and was never about whether the chart worked: routing the repo's image traffic through |
The star history chart is currently broken because the underlying GitHub stargazer API can no longer be used without a token. This change repoints the chart (and its wrapping links) to a working mirror that needs no token, restoring the star history visualization across the README, its translations, and the website. The chart fix is necessary for the project's growth graph to display correctly again.
