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.

Gadgetbridge is an Android application for your smart watch and other devices
The Bangle.js 2 is an excellent device. As a former Pebble user, this is the first device that I consider an adequate replacement for my Pebble (which by now has a diminished battery life and corroded charging contacts).
Here is my impression of the Bangle.js 2:
- Battery: Lasts about 3 weeks on a charge, constantly connected to my phone, when the watch is used to display notifications and alarms. This is a major advantage over Apple Watches and Android/Wear OS watches.
- Display and buttons: The 1.3" 8-color transflective display is comparable to the Pebble Time series' 64-color transflective display. The display is always on, and the backlight activation is highly configurable. The Bangle.js 2 has a touchscreen and 1 button, while Pebble watches have no touchscreen and 3 buttons.
- Software: Runs on the completely free and open source Espruino JavaScript interpreter,[1] which was my main motivation for purchasing this device. There are currently 336 apps in the web-based Bangle.js app loader (app store), including utilites and clocks (watch faces), all of which are FOSS. The bootloader and firmware can be updated directly from the app loader. On Android, there is a distribution of Gadgetbridge (built from the same code base as Gadgetbridge) with internet access enabled that integrates the Bangle.js app loader into Gadgetbridge, which makes it very easy to use the watch.[2]
- Build: Built on the same device body as the SMA Q3.[3] The casing is plastic, and the watch is compatible with standard 20 mm watch straps. The IP67 water/dust resistance makes the watch usable for sports.
Overall, I highly recommend the Pebble.js 2 watch, which is the best FOSS-focused watch I have found to date.

Lilygo T-Deck: 2.8-inch IPS LCD display, mini keyboard, and ESP32 processor
Gah, I just ordered one on impulse [1]. I've wanted to build out a WiFi PDA for quite some time now and I like this hardware.
I'm quite liking the idea of running tulip MicroPython [2] on it, or going back to pure MicroPython [3] and writing some drivers. Apparently something like ampy can be used to upload/download Python files [4].
Threads could be quite exciting for running multiple programs at once [5], although I have no idea what it means for two programs to fight over GPIO! It does seem as though MicroPython can only utilise a single core [6].

about microprocessor
If you really want to engage in the travesty that is shoehorning a high level scripting language into an environment that has 512 bytes of RAM and less clock cycles than an electric toothbrush, there is micropython.

Ask HN: Embedded Scripting Options for Microcontrollers
Needed for hobby project, maintained by very small team. Haven't decided on specific microcontroller. Needed for general bit-banging, speed and code size are not priorities.
So far have considered MicroPython [0] [1] and Lua [2] [3], but open for suggestions for others.
What are experiences?
