The range is not a forecast of this line: it is what GitHub lines in the same state (more than doubled its share of new repos in a year) did 1 to 5 years later, 2019 to 2026, applied to today's level. Past 5 years it is stretched, not measured. Checked out of time (learned before 2022, scored after), 71% of outcomes landed inside the 90% range, so read it as wide. Open it in the Everything chart.

New public repos with the comfyui tag each week (Monday to Sunday, UTC). The outlined bars, last week included, are still filling in, as tags are often added days after a repo is created, so their height will grow a little. "Against the field" divides the change by what the typical tag did, so a wave that lifts every tag does not count. Hover for the numbers.

Questions

Is ComfyUI growing on GitHub?

Yes. Its share of all new public GitHub repos is 5x vs a year ago and +78% over the last three months (Sep 2026). Phase: Accelerating.

How many new ComfyUI repos are created each month?

About 411 new public repos a month carry the comfyui tag (three-month average to Sep 2026), or 0.42 of every 10,000 new repos.

What will ComfyUI look like in 2032?

Nobody knows, and we say how much. Of past GitHub lines that more than doubled its share of new repos in a year, the middle half had between 0.14x and 1.27x of their share 3 to 5 years later, and 61% ended smaller.

Is ComfyUI more talked about than built?

Talk and building in step. Over the year its share of Wikipedia views moved -3% while its share of new GitHub repos moved 5x. New repos grew faster than talk for most AI trends this year, so the label compares it with the typical trend: about 1/1.5 of the talk per builder of the median trend.

Not investment advice. Measurements of what people build and star on GitHub, a statistical forecast, base rates and a model's reading of them. Nothing here is about any company's revenue, valuation or stock.
