OSS Pulse Momentum Dashboard focuses on change rather than just current state:
- ⚡ Momentum Score - Single 0-100 score combining velocity, relative growth, acceleration, and consistency
- 🔢 Quadrant View - Repos classified into Hot Giants, Rising Stars, Coasting Giants, and Emerging
- 📈 Sparklines - 7-day text-based star trajectory right next to repo names
- 🔥 Viral Detection - Only genuine 5x+ baseline spikes (no absolute fallback)
