The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

In need for suggestion on patters
Hi u/McLarenVXfortheWin – I would recommend that you consider using Mark Kriegsman’s Twinklefox with code at: https://gist.github.com/kriegsman/756ea6dcae8e30845b5a and a modified version of Jon Burroughs’s meteor show at: https://gist.github.com/chemdoc77/37849625902f21b6cd18cdd795e58a8c Finally, I am not sure how well it would look on your table but you should consider trying Daniel Wilson’s Bouncing Balls 2014 with code at: https://github.com/daterdots/LEDs/tree/master/BouncingBalls2014

Two and a Half . . .call it 3D Fireworks ;-)
Hi u/CharlesGoodwin - Magnificent project! Great write up for your project, Please consider testing on your lamp, Daniel Wilson’s fantastic bouncing balls sketch as seen in these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCeNXBzHL_U and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgUqHP8ZkTc with code here: https://github.com/daterdots/LEDs/blob/master/BouncingBalls2014/BouncingBalls2014.ino

Non-Blocking "Lighting Code" out there?
Which, in turn, was based on this blocking one: https://github.com/daterdots/LEDs/blob/master/Lightning2014/Lightning2014.ino

And for those new here, here is the story of my lamp

RGBW but ignore the W channel... trying to use fill_palette
Exactly. /u/zumdar the result would be the function at the bottom of FastLED_RGBW.h in this sketch. There is also this with many FastLED operators and some functions modified for RGBW.

Small update to the 1-D firework sparks from earlier
I've done a whole write up on the build here

Best RGBWW or WW strip?
I used the FastLED hack for white LEDs and it worked fine. The code for my lamp is here
-
Does FastLED support RGBW?
I tried the hack out myself and it works fine if in a somewhat limited capacity. That said, I've expanded the hack to include more functionality

Thought about FastLED and RGBW
scroll down this page to see my findings on SK6812 led ribbons. Basically, I started with the hack that u/Johnny5canuck pointed out and have considerably extended it as and where needed.

Cheap 8x8 matrix compatible with Fastled?
It's possible, but hacky, to drive RGBW with FastLED. Be sure to follow the links at the top of that file for more information. Only a small selection of FastLED's functions have been modified to work with the RGBW type. Those that have been modified haven't necessarily been changed in the most appropriate and optimal ways to get the best out of RGBW.

Will this high brightness LED strip work with an arduino and FastLED?
Generally you are quite right but I found a workaround (hack) that works just great with my lamp here is the code you just need to add.

ESP32 and URL variables
I used this async web server example to go on and build myself a customized page to control my lamp
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LEDs and Lamp you can also consider the following projects:
quickPatterns - FastLED based pattern engine for addressable LEDs (NeoPixels, WS2811, WS2812) for layering animations on the same strand of lights.
OctoWS2811 - Control thousands of WS2811/2812 LEDs at video refresh speeds
WLED - Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!
FastLED - The FastLED library for colored LED animation on Arduino. Please direct questions/requests for help to the FastLED Reddit community: http://fastled.io/r We'd like to use github "issues" just for tracking library bugs / enhancements.
wifi-stripled
virtuinoCM - Recommended for communication with Virtuino app. This library supports any board (UNO, MINI, MEGA, DUE, ESP8266, ESP32, STM32 etc.)
