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.

RattleCAD
> If you like Linkage, you might also like Solvespace.
No, I mean Brent Curry's Linkage[1] bicycle design software, not David Rector's Linkage Mechanism Designer and Simulator[2].
You should read Wikipedia article.[0]
N.B. About SolveSpace, as I'm its experienced user[youtube,patreon], I may say next: yes, it could be used for bike mockup, as any other CAD, but it still has a lot of limitations and even does not export correct STEP files yet[3], and in FreeCAD such STEP could fixed only partially.[video]
So, for serious 3D CAD work I highly recommend use FreeCAD (and LibreCAD for 2D CAD work) instead of SolveSpace, and use SolveSpace only as a helper tool like a calc or as a notepad for noting ideas.
About Linkage Mechanism Designer and Simulator, it is only useful for planar (2D) kinematics analyze, and if You are looking an alternative for it take a look on Pyslvs[4], that is in part based on SolveSpace's solver.

SolveSpace — Computer Aided Design Made Easy on Twitter (x-post from r/SolveSpace)
N.B.: There are few other projects which is using SolveSpace's libslvs, for example Pyslvs - an open source planar linkage mechanism simulation and mechanical synthesis system.

Sample Linkage Mechanisms
> There's something so satisfying about mechanical linkages
On Wikipedia some other mechanical linkages also described.[0]
If you want dive into kinematics try also Pyslvs[1,2] app.

Nice list. It yet complete, but has some I not seen before, such as "Bike-Draw".[0]
One I've found recently is Brent Curry's Linkage[1] bike design app, which looks like a serious competitor for BikeCAD and rattleCAD.
And there are few other not listed in your list SaaS for bike design, I've listed in previous comment.[2]
Also, I'm trying to create own bike design template/macro for FreeCAD.[3]
