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.

Using Date() strange behaviour
If you need to be careful with dates generated client side, then you’ll need to know what the real time is. You can do this by contacting an NTP server, easier if handled through a library like Kronos. Or you can try to calculate the delta between the client clock and your backend clock and adjust Date() values accordingly. Check the “Date” HTTP header in your API responses.

- May I know how do you usually get day difference between 2 Date by ignoring time?

I can't solve a simple Swift problem, and it's driving me insane :)
You shoudl take a look at the libray Time. https://github.com/davedelong/time

Why is this highly upvoted StackOVerflow code telling me that the first day of March 2021 is 28 February?
In general you should let the user’s locale determine the specifics of formatting dates. But if you need a specific format you can use the formatting methods here, or use clock.thisMinute().firstInstant.date to drop down to a Date object and use your own DateFormatter instance. But if you use the latter, be sure you set up the date formatter with the same time zone as the Absolute instance that clock.thisMinute() returns.
