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.

A nostalgic look back at when the Internet still felt joyful
Yeah, they're selected based on something like "vibe". I've tried to make it a bit chaotic with a few wildcards and unexpected results, without the pure pandemonium you'd get with no curation at all.
The data set is available here: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/PublicData/blob/master/s...

The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
I haven't built a clean workflow for that yet, but in the interim, make a pull request here:
https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/PublicData/blob/master/s...
and I'll poke it into the DB.
If you don't want to dirty your hands with github, you can send me an email at [email protected] :-)

Why the Internet Isn't Fun Anymore
Not parent, but Marginalia's list[0] of blogs is a great aggregation. I've also stumbled upon some webrings through some of the blogs (have them open somewhere among my 3000 open tabs haha).

The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
I like this author's idea of curating bookmark lists, but I think they are most effective when two criteria are followed: (1) keep the list small, (2) write small notes about each entry.
For example, the bookmarks list the author links to (https://www.marginalia.nu/links/bookmarks/) has 48 URLs annotated only by category. That's too many for my tiny brain to handle and I move on.
A webring like Hundred Rabbits' (https://webring.xxiivv.com/) has 203 entries. For me, this is in the same category as 48. (It also reminds me of those "Awesome X" lists on GitHub that end up flooded with hundreds of links.)
To attempt an example of what I mean, here's the bookmark list I publish on my website:

Why Are Anarchists & Leftists So Averse to Tech?
We're out here, just not in your workplace. Poke around in more decentralized tech spaces like federated social media and self-hosting groups. Talk to free software people, find local users' groups. As far as non-profits go, you may be interested in the EFF or the Internet Archive. Phrack Magazine (http://phrack.org/) is a very-long-running webzine for hackers, although it's been updating less and less frequently, and there are lots and lots and lots of webrings of little self-hosted sites which lean leftist. (see: https://webring.xxiivv.com/) There are also some in-person tech collectives like Cyberia: https://cyberia.club/ As far as individuals go, I don't believe Phineas Fisher has been caught yet, and of course there's Maia Arson Crimew (https://maia.crimew.gay/) who leaked the no-fly list.
