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
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.
