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.

- Canada's 'gamble' on delaying, mixing and matching Covid-19 vaccines paid off

The Alberta QR codes are a universal standard called SMART Health Cards that can be scanned and verified worldwide by many apps including Apple Camera. They are the best solution and the government has finally done something right!
Or they could copy BC's app (available on github) and tweak their own version.

'Rendering it useless': Alberta releases proof of vaccination QR code without an app to scan it
Just fork the repo for our province's app and throw in your decryption key for the QR codes.

- Nearly Six in Ten (58%) BC Residents Have Used the New Vaccine Card, 33% Experienced Instances Where Vaccine Cards Not Asked For When They Should Have Been
- Vaccine passport app exposed hundreds of thousands of users' personal data

To the dude that asked if my bar "respected medical exemptions" and then responded with "well thats fukken gay" when I said no
This doesn't appear to be true at all, you can look at the scanner app source code online, here is the iOS source.
- BC Vaccine Card Verifier released for Android
-
Vaccine passport technical question (specific to BC, looking for sources as well)
You can read the source code for the (iOS version of the) Validator App here. If you look at DecodedQRPayload.swift you can see what the app is decoding from the QR code, here's the heart of it:

For worldwide usage, there is a project called The Commons Project where health organizations and governments can apply to have their issuer URL added to. They are adding them here. This will allow third-party scanning apps to get a list of trusted issuers so that they can validate any QR code in the world without having to worry about who to trust.
Most likely, the Alberta verification app they're releasing is going to contain the decryption keys or its going to check that the issuer URL is the Alberta one, as someone could fake the QR code by using their own issuer that returns their own keys to verify the fake QR code. For international verification to work properly, Alberta will need to add their issuer URL to the commons project, which many apps use to check that an issuer is a real authority and not just some random untrusted source.
- The new taxpayer funded QR Code vaccine passport is blatantly poorly designed
- The QR code is up and ready to go!!

England vaccine passport plans ditched
Verification apps should check the issuer. But you can issue and sign your own vaccine codes trivially.
Some apps will go a step further to check that the issuer is “trusted.” For example, there is a list of some issuers considered trusted here:
https://github.com/the-commons-project/vci-directory/blob/ma...
The most popular reader app I know of will mark issuers that are not on this list as “Partially-verified.”
I’m not going to get too deep into this because it’s clear that HN is, for some reason, very antagonistic toward any discussion on the matter unless some correct permutation of words is used. Nonetheless, I’ve researched this quite a bit. Anyone can make and issue their own SMART Health Card.
What are some alternatives?
