Why care about stars in the first place? Github is a repo of source repos, using it like social media is pretty silly. If I like a project, it goes into a folder in my bookmarks, that's the 'star' everyone should use.
For VCs? What, are you looking to make an open source todo app into a multi million dollar B2B SaaS? VCs are the almighty gods of the world, and us humble peons do not need to lend our assistance into helping them lose money :-)
Outside of that, neat project.
