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.

Bad tools that NEED improvement
PhaMers: several open issues. I opened the one about bad FASTA header parsing. But even when I reformat my headers so that works, new errors pop up (which I didn't bother opening issues for since they were unresponsive to others). Also, output is written to current working directory which is annoying.

Bad tools that NEED improvement
VirusSeeker: no installation or running instructions on GitHub. They do have it on their lab website, but you have to edit source files to point to databases. Too much of a pain. So not sure how it works once that is done.
What are some alternatives?
metaGEM - :gem: An easy-to-use workflow for generating context specific genome-scale metabolic models and predicting metabolic interactions within microbial communities directly from metagenomic data
virMine
virnet - VirNet: A deep attention model for viral reads identification
DeePhage - A tool for distinguish temperate phage-derived and virulent phage-derived sequence in metavirome data using deep learning
PPR-Meta - A tool for identifying phages and plasmids from metagenomic fragments using deep learning
MetaRon - Metagenomic opeRon Prediction pipeline. MetaRon presents the first pipeline for the prediction of metagenomic operons without any functional or experimental data.
ViraMiner - CNN based classifier for detecting viral sequences among metagenomic contigs
