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.

Wierd behaviour with using 'Dir' as an alias for my own function
Sounds like a bug, you should report it to PSReadLine. I believe PSReadLine and not PowerShell is the one that handles tab completion here, it sounds like it's caching the alias target so still thinks it is completing Get-ChildItem.

DirectoryPredictor - Plugin module for PSReadLine to actively search the current directory for matching files
I then used PSReadLine's GitHub to understand how they made their own module, shared data with Cmdlets and everything inbetween. Which got me the rest of the day.

Keyword search through PSReadline command history with '#' operator?
Highly recommend checking out the team’s sample file: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/blob/master/PSReadLine/SamplePSReadLineProfile.ps1

Using PowerShell for non system-administration
I have a hotkey that converts aliases on the command line when I hit alt+% That makes it easier to paste into discord or wherever. Why % ? I'm not sure, that's what what PSReadLine used

New PowerShell Version - v7.2.0-preview.6: [7.2.0-preview.6] - 2021-05-27
Just a bit of a heads up. The PSReadLine 2.2.0 beta 1 and beta 2 do not work with this release so either you can downgrade to PSReadLine 2.1.0 or stay on PowerShell 7.2.0 preview 5. The PSReadLine 2.2.0 beta 3 will solve the issue.

How to solve "Update-Help: Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'PSReadline, WindowsUpdateProvider' with UI culture(s) {en-US} : One or more errors occurred. (Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (The specified blob does not exist.).)." ?
The PSReadline update-help failing is new and should probably have an issue filed on their github, assuming there isn't one already. The failure on "WindowsUpdateProvider" has been around for years, you're missing help for these cmdlets without it

jc: Converts the output of popular command-line tools to JSON
> In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:
Libxo happens to be in the base system, but it is generally available:

Or make it flexible:

* https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo
Want structure? Ask for JSON or XML and parse. Otherwise it's the regular text output.

Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools
Can you trust it? Cli tool output is not exactly stable. I thought that's why libxo exists?

Curl gets a --json flag
Please consider https://github.com/Juniper/libxo or something even better than that.
-
You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
That would look a lot like FreeBSD. Many of the FreeBSD userland tools are set up to use the excellent libxo (https://github.com/Juniper/libxo) to allow the user's choice of how things are output.
