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.

Manifest.toml vs Project.toml in Julia
Each package in the Julia package ecosystem has its own UUID which will appear in the Project.toml next to the package name. These values are assigned to the package when it is regestered in the Julia General registry and they never change, even if the version of the package does.

Ask HN: Why does every package+module system become a Rube Goldberg machine?
Julia and Rust all work with using versions tied to git tags. Package management isn't tied to Github but git: packages can live on Gitlab or BitBucket, though they generally don't and that's the choice of package developers. Because of that there are tie-ins to make Github really nice to use, but for example with Julia the only piece that is truly Github based is the fact that the General registry lives in a Github repo (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General), but could easily migrate to another git platform if it needed to.

Show HN: Investorsexchange.jl – parse trade-level stock market data in Julia
HN is special, and you all here in this comment tree are the best of the best -- love the fact that everyone is having fun with this in such a civil way and historically knowledgeable way.
For anyone who wants the naming backstory, InvestorsExchange.jl was originally IEXTools.jl, but Julia's package registration automatic name checks didn't like it ("Name does not meet all of the following: starts with an uppercase letter, ASCII alphanumerics only, not all letters are uppercase.Name is not at least five characters long") [1]. So to Wikipedia I went to find the non-acronym name of the IEX exchange, which is "Investors Exchange" [2]. Thank you all for helping me understand why IEX goes by IEX in all of their branding.

Will Julia Registrator accept my simple package?

Will Julia Registrator accept my simple package?
It's a PR to the "General Registry" so it would make sense if your package is a bit more "general". Currently it consists of roughly 24 lines of code (a single function) and has only a few lines of in-line documentation (https://github.com/sumant-28/compoundInterest.jl/blob/main/src/compoundInterest.jl)
What are some alternatives?
