Descrizione
Description
In useGitHubStars.ts, the hook fetches stargazers count from the GitHub API but does not check if the response was successful (r.ok). Under rate limits (status 403) or offline errors, the parsed JSON is an error payload. The hook defaults data.stargazers_count to 0, setting and caching 0 stars in localStorage for a whole hour, instead of retaining the last known cached count.
Steps to Reproduce
- Hit the GitHub API rate limit.
- Refresh the website.
- The website now displays
★ 0stars, overwriting the previously correct cached count.
Suggested Fix
Check r.ok and ensure stargazers_count is a valid number before updating the cache.
