Stark vs varg
Two Design & Frontend tools whose own descriptions overlap. Here's what each project says it does and the public numbers, side by side, so you can pick one in a minute instead of reading two READMEs.

Who each one suits
Stark, if…
- You use Claude Code: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You want something you install yourself; the install command doesn't point at a hosted endpoint.
- You need a permissive license (Apache-2.0) for work or commercial use.
- You don't mind a quiet repo: no push in 112 days.
varg, if…
- You want something you install yourself; the install command doesn't point at a hosted endpoint.
- You need a permissive license (MIT) for work or commercial use.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.
So which one?
We haven't run both, so we won't crown a winner. Use the list above to rule one out, then read its README and recent commits before installing. Anything that runs commands on your machine deserves a look at the code.
