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.

Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple
Just a heads up: PySimpleGUI 5 isn't open source any more [0], and the official GitHub repo was replaced with a stub [1]. From the blog post, it sounds like the people behind it will probably remove the FOSS version from PyPI soon.
It's possible the community will fork it with a version of PySimpleGUI 4 that's still kicking around, but I haven't seen one yet.

PySimpleGUI 4 will be sunsetted in Q2 2024
Their old CONTRIBUTING file <https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/blob/1fa911cafee6...> said:
> Pull requests are not being accepted for the project. This includes sending code changes via other means than "pull requests". Plainly put, code you send will not be used.
> I don't mean to be ugly. This isn't personal. Heck, I don't know "you",the reader personally. It's not about ego. It's complicated. The result is that it allows me to dedicate my life to this project. It's what's required, for whatever reason, for me to do this. That's the best explanation I have. I love and respect the users of this work.
It's obvious in hindsight that those reasons were a bald-faced lie, and the real reason was exactly that he could legally do this rug pull.

From "About Me" [1]
I've been writing software since the 70s. The majority of my career was spent creating products in Silicon Valley
From https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/issues/142
> 2023 is going to be the "Make or Break" year. I ultimately need to determine if the project is going to continue. To date, it's nowhere near sustainable. The income doesn't cover the cost of the project, meaning that it's not only unable to allow me to pay for my cost of living, but I continue to rack up debt, borrowing money, to keep the project functional.
> This isn't new information if you've followed the over 1,200 announcements I've made since Sept 2018. The data is available should you wish to look at the GitHub Sponsorships and do the simple math required to calculate income from Udemy. It would be great for the project to keep going. I'm hopeful, but more than hope's required to keep the project going.
So if you like this project and want to see it around in the future, please support it.

Advice on best way to build the following windows application?
The psutil package makes getting a list of running programs not very difficult. There's an example demo program that polls once a second and displays the top process using CPU time. You could use it as a starting point perhaps.

NiceGUI – easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework
How does it compare with remi? https://github.com/rawpython/remi
Looking at the examples, for quick UIs, REMI seems simpler. And PySimpleGUI (https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI) offers REMI as a backend to deploy on web too (PySimpleGUI is pretty simple to learn).

Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
Pretty cool! I actually wrote something VERY similar a couple of years ago: sless[1]. It's a tool for viewing json-based structured logs. Just like your tool, you can explore into a json object. The difference is, it expects the input to have many json objects, newline separated, and it shows few keys as a preview of the object, to make looking for something in the log easier. It's not quite complete but basic browsing works. It was mainly written to learn more about Urwid[2], a library similar to Curses.

Any guide to creating a terminal application?
In addition to the other great libraries already mentioned, since you're in Python you may want to consider urwid, it's really robust and has a lot of built-ins.
- Menus in Python
-
Grab raw keyboard inputs
To go full in on the latter case, people often use libraries like Cursive (akin to urwid for Python but without the horrendously confusing error messages caused duck typing) or tui.
- Is there a library for creating interactive long running terminal applications?
-
What is the correct way to create a console application?
Curses seems difficult to use but you should investigate whether it works with what you want to do. https://urwid.org/ seems fun as an alternative.

I looking for a TUI liberary/framework with good aesthetics.
urwid is Python, and looks good.

What do you NOT like about Rust?
As someone coming from Python, I've had more than enough opaque duck-typed errors from urwid and I'd like my error messages to fit on one page.
