OpenClaw Overtakes React
Just last week, we wrote about OpenClaw surpassing Linux to claim the #14 spot on GitHub’s all‑time star leaderboard. At the time, React sat at 243 K stars, and we noted that “at this rate, it might not hold that lead for long.”
It didn’t.
OpenClaw has now crossed 250 K+ stars, overtaking React to become the most‑starred non‑aggregator software project on GitHub—a title React held unchallenged for years. From zero to #1 in under four months, with no sign of slowing down.
