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.

Ask HN: Do you stay away from Contributor Licence Agreements?
> Then do you (developers on HN) stay away from CLAs?
Depends on the CLA, but generally I do stay away. E.g. I never checked in anything to the official Qt repository because I don't agree the the CLA by QTC. Instead I finally made my own fork and call it LeanQt and LeanCreator (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/ and https://github.com/rochus-keller/leancreator/).
The "weird licence which is basically a modified version of the MIT licence but with a clause that prevents competitive usage" is likely not even recognized as a true "open source" license.
> would it be possible to relicense a fork of Polaris to MIT (removing the Shopify clause?)
Likely not, because only the IP owner can determine who can do what with their IP under what license. If you use the software of an IP owner under a specific licence, you usually don't have the rights to re-license their work, even if you modified it.

Is Qt6 a good move?
My response to this question was https://github.com/rochus-keller/LeanQt, but I'm not using QML nor xmlpatterns.

I found Qt6 is so heavy to learn, can I just use it just like Qt4?
If you (like me) don't need all that stuff and are not up to the latest craze, have a look at LeanQt (https://github.com/rochus-keller/LeanQt).

Alternative widgets framework in qt?
Right. In the Gui module you have everything you need for this: platform independent windows and events, 2D bitmap and vector graphics, fonts and even rich text handling. Unfortunately there are some dependencies in Qt Gui to Qt Widgets, but if you use e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/ instead of original Qt these are resolved. So with this you can implement your own widget toolkit on top of the Gui module if you want, and still benefit from the very powerful platform independent foundations of Qt.

Using Qt 6 under LGPLv3
> Qt for MCU [..] seems like a big advantage over Qt LGPL-3.0. I have my doubts. MCUs powerful enough to run Qt GUIs smoothly are more expensive than, say, an i.MX6ULL with a Cortex-A7 application processor and Linux. It’s a lot easier to find developers for an embedded Linux system ...
This is a very convincing argument. A Linux embedded system is also more flexible and the degree of code reusability is usually higher.
> Shall we use Qt LGPL-3.0 or Qt Commercial?
LeanQt (https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/) is still available under LGPL v2.1. I will not switch to Qt 6 with my projects.

Ask HN: Why would you ever use C++ for a new project over Rust?

Deno in 2023
Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.
But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.
Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
