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
RNN-Virseeker: hard coded paths to training and actual data, so source code must be edited for it to be used. Bad practice and unscalable. Also, they don't follow Python conventions. test.py is generally meant to indicate a unit/integration test file for something like pytest, but in their "tool" that is the actual tool's file name.

Bad tools that NEED improvement
Deephage and PPR-meta: both by the same group. They require MATLAB which makes them tricky on an HPC or cloud system. They both say that if you need to run on several samples concurrently, you must clone the tool to a new directory for each(!). Likely due to temporary files being written to the working directory. Entirely unscalable in that case.
