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.

LoRa gateways in the U.S.
These two Github repositories might help as a starting point. Dependent on your hardware preferences, the boards (433 MHz versions) can be purchased for 30-60 EUR/USD; tx/rx settings are freely configurable.

RISC-V Powered Mango Pi Takes on Raspberry Pi Zero at Its Own Game
For simplicity, I like the Longan Nano. The GD32V is well documented. (That's not true for some of that list.) The electronics are easy enough to work with as it's a 3.3V board that's mostly 5V tolerant. It's supported by PlatformIO and there are IDEs available, but it's dead simple to program via GCC, GAS, LD directly. There's a ton of source code on Github. The built-in display is a common 7789-type display, so your second project (after Blinky) doesn't HAVE to be wiring up a display. The provided libraries for GPIO, SPI, and such are reasonable. There are libraries that make it look like an Arduino in case you want to torture yourself.
