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.

UPDATED -- Review Request - ESP32-based board monitoring 24VAC w/ I2C, 1wire
My CICD is done with KiBot - https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot and my pipeline templates are https://github.com/gcormier/kicad-jobs

Kicad Vault - A Component Management System
Not exactly the same you suggested, but many of those points are already covered by KiBot. You might want to take a look at it: Kibot

KiCad Project Makefile
One of the features that peaked my interest with the release of 7.0 was kicad-cli. I've wanted a built in tool for CI/CD for a while. I know there is Kibot but to be honest, I found the base configuration a little overwhelming and also struggled to get it running locally on a macOS setup - without tainting system Python.

KiCad Version 7.0.0 Released
KiBot [0] is super handy for this, the documentation has an explicit section on CI/CD usage.
It's a bit clunky (not KiBots fault at all, it has to basically script drive the GUI to achieve some functionality which has now been added to the kicad cli) so hopefully going forward CI/CD with KiCad will be even easier!

The tooling ecosystem that adds joy to KiCad
I'm using KiBot for this, see pcb_replace/sch_replace options here: https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot#supported-preflight-optio...
- KiBot release - now supports KiCad v6!
- Fritzing is an open-source electronic design too
-
KiCad 6.0.0
I've been bitten by the DRC before, but KiBot[0] renders that moot. I have it running as a pre-commit hook, and it generates my Gerbers and everything. That way, all this stuff is automated and I can't make a mistake.
Check out my project's config:

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
There's OpenSCAD, but I don't think it's exactly what you mean
https://openscad.org/

Help for the mentally challenged! I am trying to find easy software to create this drawing and export it as a 3d printer file. And going slightly mad as 3d software is different... Any advice welcome please.
For something this simple you can use OpenSCAD (https://openscad.org). It's free and pretty easy to learn. Below are the two commands required to produce the solid object indicated by the picture. The application can export anything you create as an STL.
-
code to design
Are you asking about something like https://openscad.org which allows you to code your model? An example of its use can be seen in the OpenFlexure project.
-
Free 3D Modeling Software not web-based?
I use OpenSCAD. https://openscad.org - it's what the Thingiverse Customizer is based on (and if you upload .scad files to Thingiverse, the Customizer works for your design too).

Generative AI for 3D Modeling and Printing
One tool many people use for parametric modeling is OpenSCAD which is very utilitarian and has methods for constructing 3d and 2d geometry (and 3d from 2d such as extrusion).
-
Just bought my first 3D printer
OpenSCAD is free and open source. It's great for creating functional parts. Its input .scad files are just plain text files.
-
Remove text
Download OpenSCAD from https://openscad.org and that NameTag.scad file from Thingiverse. Open the scad file in OpenSCAD, and use OpenScad’s text editor or Customizer view to replace ‘your name’ hit ‘Render’ then export to STL. Print the STL.

Tech bro needs hobby suggestion :p
You'll feel right at home with OpenSCAD ("The programmer's solid 3D CAD modeller)

New Prusa Owner (MK4)
Yea. Parametric is the right world. That would be very nice to have. Almost every single Parametric model (example) on Printables is on F360 (or the older ones in OpenSCAD - but they haven't done a new release in years now).
