Ignoring the fact that Github Stars are a aweful metric for anything else than vanity, "More bells and whistles" feels like a terrible advice and you should much more focus on a "easy-to-get-started" readme with just the minimal amount of beels and whistles to effectively communicate what your thing is really about.

I'm extatic one of my project reached 100 stars. Sometimes we need to feel good.

Agreed. I also think there's a lot of satisfaction in knowing that you got those stars in a completely organic manner.
