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.

CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
Out of this frustration I've built: https://github.com/Endava/cats. It's for APIs, but mostly addressing exactly this case: don't use strings for everything, if you choose to use it though, make sure you add patterns for checking if things are valid, make sure you think about all the corner cases and all the weird characters that can brake you app, and so on.

API Security Testing
If the API has an OpenAPI spec available, you can use: https://github.com/Endava/cats

Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain
This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate or https://github.com/Endava/cats are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing.

Invisible Characters
I've built a tool specifically to test if these kind of characters will reach API backends: https://github.com/Endava/cats. My idea was that APIs should explicitly reject or sanitise input containing such characters.

🛠️Non-AI Open Source Projects that are 🔥
Bruno is a Git-friendly API client. Feature-wise, what makes it stand out from other popular GUI API clients out there is that Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem and it's a desktop app made for offline use.

Bruno
Especially once a VC gets into the fold.
We will never take VC funding. We received around 10 inbound reach outs from VCs till date and have denied funding from all of them. We will remain independent and I have written about it in detail here https://www.usebruno.com/blog/bootstrapping
> I didn't stick with Bruno. I think it was due to not having an equivalent to Postman's pre-request scripts.
Bruno has come a long way, we support pre-request scripts and a lot more
> But can it handle oauth2? I had to write a httpie script recently just to test an oauth2 api.
We have released oauth2 support, some rough edges are being polished
> Good thing it's open source. Money being involved, I don't have long term hopes for it's openness.
I understand this is a hard problem. We are fully bootstrapped and independent. We earn money via selling the Golden Edition. We will build more developer products in the long term, and the goal is to make even the golden edition features also open source in the future. In the unlikely case of me going dark (dead/incapacitated to lead the project), I have instructed our small team (2 FT employees) and my family to release our golden edition features too to the community as opensource. I am committed to this cause.
Some good links where I have discussed about opensource, freedom and monetization

Thank you for all the love and kind words, HN!

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Have you heard of the Bruno project? It's an open-source alternative to subscription-based API testing applications like Postman and Insomnia. It's gaining popularity and deserves more attention. Plus, since it's open-source, users can enjoy full privacy. Check it out at https://github.com/usebruno/bruno.

Tools that Make Me Productive as a Software Engineer
Now, I'm looking at trying Bruno, a new tool I heard about. Bruno has all the features you'd want, like support for websockets. What's great about Bruno is it only costs $19 for a one-time payment, which seems like a good deal. I want to see how well it works for me and if it's as good as it sounds. I'm excited to try it out and maybe talk about it later.

15 open-source tools to elevate your software design workflow
In contrast to Postman, Bruno aims to be an offline-first API client which stores requests in a local folder. You can still collaborate using Git, but everything else happens on your machine. Bruno turns out to be a great solution when you just want to run HTTP requests. It supports a lot of features you might know from Postman or Insomnia (set environment variables, several authentication methods, and scripted tests, to name a few). Looking at the roadmap, the amount of these is only going to increase.
