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.

What note do you typically sample in?
A technical reason is that 440Hz (or its multiples) plays nice(st) with common recording frequencies such as 22.05kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, etc. Taking 44.1kHz for example, if you divide 44100 samples per second by 100 cycles per second, you get a clean 441. Meaning that if you would concatenate 100 single-cycle waveforms you would end up with a perfect 441Hz pitch, which is only an 1Hz error (barely audible if put side-by-side). Being able to work in integers like that is extremely beneficial for "lighter" variants of DSP algorithms (such as resampling algorithms) - it may help reduce aliasing as well as manual sample editing or synthesis (one of the reasons why the AKWF single cycle collection were originally created at a multiple of 100 samples as well).

WaveUser wavetables
I haven't tried making wavetables from scratch, but if you haven't already you should check out the Adventure Kid waveform pack. He created them from a whole variety of sources - traditional instruments, synths, nature sounds, etc. - and they're public domain.

KARRA - FL21
3xOsc is such a great utility synth, I use it for bass and leads a lot, sometimes all you want is just a sine wave or a de-tuned saw with basic envelope. The custom waveform support makes it super versatile. While fruity does come with some custom shapes I'd recommend getting a waveform library to expand your options - (this one is decent and free: https://www.adventurekid.se/akrt/waveforms/adventure-kid-waveforms/). I normally do all my filtering/distortion/reverb etc downstream of it so it works well for my work flow.

where can I find useful samples for Renoise
Adventure Kid has a bunch of single-cycle waveforms for download here.

Are there any decent sample packs for sound design?
