Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Mistral CEO confirms 'leak' of new open source AI model nearing GPT4 performance
I often like to think about https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11 as an analogy. It's public domain with available source, in the assembly language in which it was written... so it fills all the definitions of OSS!
But the process by which that code arose, the ability to modify any line and understand its impact (heh) on a real execution environment, is dependent on a massive process that required billions of dollars and thousands of the smartest people on the planet. For all intents and purposes, without that environment, it is as reliably modifiable as an executable binary in any other context - or a set of weights, in this one!

TIL an Oxford University physicist claimed that for the moon landing conspiracy to be true, around 411,000 people would’ve needed to keep it secret. He also suggests the hoax would’ve broken down in 3.68 years.
You can look at the Colossus 2A code written by Margaret Hamilton and her very small team on Github.

Software Disenchantment
My more positive take on this: our runtime environments are bloated because we have ways to enable trust, stability, and iteration speeds that people wouldn't have dreamed of in years past.
Your Notion desktop app and Google Chrome both support embedding & displaying multimedia content that's controlled by people that you may not trust, but they can draw on decades of engineering to sandbox that content. They can independently be updated without worrying about a centralized `flexbox.dll` that may or may not be the right version. They do not require building a new executable to make the vast majority of UI changes. And the cost is simply storage space and initial download bandwidth.
We can look with rose-colored glasses at an era of "every byte of assembly has been hand-crafted." I, too, look in awe at what was achieved with such things as https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/tree/master/Luminar... . But that software, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer#Softw..., took 1400 person-years of work.
We have to compare apples to apples - the abstractions we have today would not prevent such a piece of software from being built, and indeed would allow us to build that exact software, even bit-for-bit the same, much more easily due to abstractions on our tooling itself. We have not departed a world where, given a nation-state budget, one could pay for 1400 person-years of work and create the AGC (though one might make arguments about the distraction levels of modern society, but that's a different thing entirely).
But we also exist in a world where I can build and ship a cross-platform video chat application in an afternoon (well, not counting app store approvals) and be reasonably confident that my app will be compatible with, and secure on, practically any computer or mobile device sold in the past half decade, regardless of how many other apps may have been installed on each device. I'd venture to say that Apollo engineers would, and do, find this aspect of our world fascinating, too.

This is for myself, and the countless others that can't get live preview in Brackets because they're stupid like me.

Atom Was Archived Today
Heh, just a month ago Adobe Brackets (another Atom clone) did the same https://github.com/adobe/brackets
- GitHub is sunsetting Atom

Sunsetting Atom Text Editor
Oh, that's a good point about the sunsetting. In Brackets's case, Adobe left it active in the hands of the community.
Live Preview in particular is one of the areas I had some fun working on. I worked out a way to do diff/patch to make it quickly and incrementally update the browser[1]

Top 5 text editors for web development in 2022
Brackets may be a free and open-source code editor from the owner of Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and other amazing software providers Adobe. it's a primary target for web development and particularly on web designing because it provides plenty of features for web designers like Quick edit, Quick Docs, Live preview, Autosave, JSLint, Preprocessor support, Open source, Extension, themes, and more. Its software is licensed under the MIT license and it's currently run and maintained by Github's open-source developers. Its GitHub repository is https://github.com/adobe/brackets. it was created with help of Electron JS(JavaScript). it's available in 38 languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript. It supports lots of extensions like Beautify, Autoprefixer, Emmet. Minifier, ToDo, Bracket Gits, Brackets File Icons, Swatcher, and more. it absolutely was initially released on 4 November 2014 around 7 years ago. it's integrated with NODE JS, JavaScript, Adobe PhotoShop, Vizy, and more, and firms like Zenkit, Startlink, MaGIC, WorldGaming, NeoQuant, Core, OpportunityWork, and more are using it for her projects. it's lots of benefits like -

I don't understand how to install brackets, can someone help me?
I think you just need to download this : https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases/download/release-1.14.2/Brackets.Release.1.14.2.msi

Email development
I don't think there's a fix for this. This problem has many issue entries on github, and it will eventually get worked on at some point. However you could try this troubleshoot guide.

-
Update: The state of Brackets (Sept 2nd)
https://brackets.io/ as well as https://registry.brackets.io/ are already back again. Currently there are still some issues with SSL certification but as soon as these are resolved we should expect to get a working extension manager again. After that, the community will be able to transition to the new branch of Brackets (brackets/brackets-cont) most likely by some kind of patch.
