advice to OP - that gif showing how you zoom in and star the repo is a giant turnoff. i closed my tab when i saw that.

Agreed. Do you think potential users of your repo don't know how to star it?

That's not even correct, starring isn't going to do that. You'd need to smash that subscribe button and not forget the bell icon (metaphorically), not ~like~ star it.

If, on the other hand, it were a long, drawn-out animation of moving the mouse pointer to the button, hovering for a few seconds, and then slowing clicking while dragging the mouse away so that the button didn't select and they had to repeat the task again-- that would be art.
