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.

-
PartCAD the first package manager for CAD models
They don't seem to be aware of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which has been around for an age.
-
MK4 Printable Parts are now available
If you're looking for examples of high quality openscad code, dotSCAD is pretty cool. nophead (old school reprap person and one of the openscad developers) has a parts library that I think is high quality.
-
Library of parts for SolveSpace
As for now there is no library of parts for SolveSpace similar to NopSCADLib for r/OpenSCAD or FreeCAD library for r/FreeCAD.
-
OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
This is exciting news. And I enjoyed to learn that some investigation on adding parallelism has been done. OpenSCAD is my main design driver, so when I hit these performance corners, it'd drive me nuts.
OpenSCAD and https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib is a winning combo.
-
Why is the standard library so sparse?
It's going to take you more than a few days. There are a bunch of libraries out there: https://github.com/topics/openscad-library is a whole list of them plus https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib has tons of prebuild parts you can modify.

What are some useful tools for (aluminum) project boxes?
I cnc'ed the front panel of the box, but it would be interesting to have a tool for panels specifically. Best thing I could find that goes in the same direction is this project https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4947863 based on the ultimate box maker and NopSCADlib https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib/

Open Source Tractor
All the designs we're drawing for https://wiki.replimat.org/wiki/Main_Page are done using our branch of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which contains some work yet to be upstreamed here: https://github.com/timschmidt/replimat
-
Replimat - a reusable Open Hardware building system which requires only a few tools, is compatible with other building systems, and makes more of itself
I've spent a lot of time improving the CAD situation around the system. All our core parts are now a part of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which automatically generates assembly instructions, bills of material, 2D and 3D CAD files for cutting and printing, etc. Eventually it will generate machine control commands directly.

50c worth of PLA later…
Here's the code.
-
Creating STL models of PCBs for fit testing enclosures
I suppose something like this might help too.. https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib#pcb

My Snappy 3.1 build, I call him "Frankenstein"
It's based on snappy https://github.com/revarbat/snappy-reprap/tree/v3.1
- Best way to with multiple parts and generating .stl files

10 ways to get the best out of OpenSCAD
Before I ran into insurmountable (for me) performance issues with OpenSCAD, I made heavy use of BOSL2[0]. I’d go as far as call it OpenSCAD’s missing standard library. It’s truly sublime.
Fun fact: BOSL2 was written by the same person who made the world’s most 3D printable 3D printer. [1]
