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.

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
I created https://rethinkraw.com that hijacks Adobe DNG Converter to provide a very limited Adobe Camera RAW that can even run on Linux. Why? Because why not.

Embedding a CLI into your app using WASM
My pet project uses dcraw to extract thumbnails from RAW files.
-
The carcinization of Go programs
I'm using it to embed dcraw in RethinkRAW, and I'm very happy with it and the community.

wails.io - What's the catch?
Wails 2 seems great. I need to have a another look at it for my pet project. I've used something closer to Lorca so far.

Give file/path as parameter to go app on macOS
I did it with AppleScript (actually JXA, because I prefer JavaScript to AppleScript) for RethinkRAW.

Introducing github.com/matthewapeters/dali
I'm building RethinkRAW using some of the same concepts as Lorca. I don't use the DevTools protocol, it's a straight up HTTP server, because I also want to access it remotely (over the LAN).

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
Using CGI protocol on a Windows server. IIS (Windows' own web server) basically interfaces with executables by running them, feeding them HTTP headers, and server variables through environment variables, and gets the response HTTP headers and the body from their STDOUT. It's very inefficient, of course, since every request requires spawning a new copy of the executable, but it had worked fine in its first months :)
Here is a very simple example from the original sources: https://github.com/ssg/sozluk-cgi/blob/master/hede.pas

The beauty of CGI and simple design
I wrote Eksi Sozluk, the most popular Turkish social platform to date, back in 1999 using Delphi as CGI executables[1]. Delphi was the tool that I knew best, and CGI worked for me at the beginning. I almost immediately started having problems with EXE files constantly active, making updates impossible (as it was Windows based), which required restarting the server for any kind of update.
CGI executables also caused problems when I switched to an Alpha AXP RISC server which emulated x86, bringing the performance to a crawl. That made me switch to classic ASP, and about 10 years later, to ASP.NET MVC with routing, unit tests, abstractions, jQuery, all the shiny things at the time.
Web didn't stop there of course; there came SPA's, React, Vue and whatnot.
Now, seeing the yearning for CGI in 2023 feels funny. Have we come full circle? :)
