The star history chart in the README is broken due to GitHub stargazer API restrictions. Update both the English and Chinese READMEs to use a working alternative so the project's growth stays visible.

Findings
- None.
Questions
- Is
star-history.dera.pagethe intended canonical replacement forstar-history.com? This checkout has no reference to the new domain, and the PR does not state who maintains it. If it is a personal/unofficial mirror, the README chart may break again when that mirror goes away, and it sends readers' browsers to an unvetted third party. Please confirm the domain is owned/controlled by a trusted party (for example, the Star History project or this project) before merging.
Summary
- Review mode: initial
- Docs-only PR: swaps the star-history chart URLs in
README.md:298-301andREADME.zh-CN.md:295fromapi.star-history.com/star-history.comtostar-history.dera.page. No source code, dependency, or CI changes; no changeset needed for a README-only fix. - I could not independently verify from the public checkout that the new
/imageand/svgendpoints resolve or render. The existing issue claim about GitHub stargazer API restrictions is plausible but not verifiable from this repo.
Testing
- Not run (automation). README-only change; no unit/E2E tests applicable. Manual check: open the rendered README and confirm both the English
star-history.dera.page/imageand Chinesestar-history.dera.page/svgURLs display a star chart.

The star history chart currently embedded in the README is broken because of GitHub stargazer API restrictions, so the chart no longer renders. This change points the chart (and its wrapping link) in both the English and Chinese READMEs at a working alternative that requires no API token, restoring the stargazer visualization.
