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.

A portable, modern regular expression language
I find something like this a lot more readable:
https://github.com/jkrumbiegel/ReadableRegex.jl
It is in Julia, but if you have it installed locally it’s just a few taps away. You can even generate the regex, and use that in Python and just add the ReadableRegex in a comment nearby.

luna is a Domain specific language that translates to regex. It's an attempt to make regex more readable.

A portable, modern regular expression language
The fundamental problem comes from assigning meaning to whitespace (in this case, concatenation). I had the same issues when developing KBNF ( https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/kbnf.md ) which operates in a closely related space.
In early development, I took a number of cues from regex that turned out to be bad ideas, in particular using whitespace for concatenation (which all BNF dialects seem to do).
Switching to '&' for concatenation fixed it and made things a lot clearer, as it would also do for Pomsky:
'Hello' & ' '+ & ('world' | 'pomsky') -
Ask HN: Please help me by reviewing KBNF
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
I'm making a modernized BNF-style metalanguage that supports grammars for text and binary formats, but unless there's some kind of outside review, I won't find any blind spots I have until long after release.
If you have experience in grammars or protocols (text or binary), could you take a quick look?
Note: I'm not aiming for perfect expressivity; just 80-90% of use cases without making things overcomplicated so that it can be used descriptively in documentation.

Social media may prevent users from reaping creative rewards of profound boredom
Boredom is what led to pretty much every project I've ever done. I usually have a list in my head of things that could be made better, but they never come to anything until I have a lengthy period of nothing to do.
Latest example: I had to take all my vacation time this year or else I'd lose it. I got so bored that I built this over the past weeks: https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf
