#2Nearly 200 stars in a repository that is only four weeks old is remarkable. Where did you promote it?

First commit was only one month ago, so it's sure gained some traction...

#5I'm not sure the star count means much these days. Regardless, the tool seems interesting. Thanks for adding the videos into the readme as well, it seems quite polished from those - although I've not tried it out myself.

Thanks. IDK it's first time for me getting attention and users in a thing I built for my self but I feels like that users liked the features and the usability

Why so
Two reasons really. First, there have been instances of bot networks allowing people to buy stars on their repos. This was more common back a few years ago but I'm sure they still operate.
Second, stars don't denote usage or downloading of the code or app. Lots of people use them more as bookmarks which show interest but not much more.
I think if you go back a few years people really did think of GitHub stars as some kind of social proof. That seems to have largely come back around now, and while it's a sign that the project has some attention, there are better ways to see that it is active.
None of that is to devalue the work you've done. It does look like a nice and well thought through application.
