The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

For UIKit apps, what is best practice for VC listening for updates from a service?
I use RxSwift/RxCocoa and The Binder Architecture. That way View Controllers always show the most recent data from the service.

I do this with RxSwift and my CLE library. Using those you can do something like this:

Anyone have a clever way of using third party packages in Swift Playgrounds?
I've tried going to RxSwift's source and copying the RxSwift folder into my playground file's Source folder but no dice, it complains about a source file not being found. I tried flattening all the files into one folder and had the same problem.

DispatchGroup in Swift
We have defined what async code is, and two basic issues we could have when working with it: running tasks serially and in parallel. For running tasks in parallel we saw that DispatchGroup can be a simple solution for that. I will recommend using a library for this though. What I taught you here is basic async knowledge, but in real world scenarios, this won't be this straightforward, so using a battle tested library is always an advantage when working in production. I personally recommend using Apple's Combine if you can (it is supported in iOS 13 and above) or using RxSwift otherwise Finally, I can't finish this article without mentioning async-await. With async-await, probably all of this discussion will be a thing of the past. It lets us write async code that can be written like sync code. You can see the proposal (already implemented and that will be released in the next version of swift) here, and even try it in your code following a tutorial like this one.

RxSwift - easy, yet not obvious, tips
I think this is the most important thing to understand with all your heart. All subjects, relays and operators might seem scary, especially with Rx-hermetic jargon. But simplifying it in your head to a simple collection will help you to understand all concepts easily. For me it was a sudden click. If you want to learn more, official docs are great source and emphasize this concept: https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxSwift/blob/main/Documentation/GettingStarted.md#observables-aka-sequences

Storage of 1000's of images for Travel app
Saving URLs definitely the way to go. Would recommend using a library such as Kingfisher to do the image loading/ caching for you.

I also looked into this github library but wanted to first ask if anyone's had any experience using it.

Collection view downloading wrong image
You can checkout Kingfisher library (it downloads image, and caches it). Usage is fairly simple but I would recomment that you create extension for the UIIMageView, somthing in line like this:

How do you guys handle image caching?
In native iOS, most people use Kingfisher, and i'd love to have something as good as that on our RN app. Perhaps just some pure JS library that you could plug on the existing image component, and that would handle the saving-to-disk and fetching of the image?

Is using CoreData + CloudKit to store text note, and iCloud Document to store note image attachments as image files a good design approach?
We are using https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher for smooth image loading in collection view. If the image data are not in regular text file, how can we integrate CoreData's blob data with Kingfisher?

Make sure the proper target is selected in the Add to target in the dialog as shown above, then click Add Package button. The package should successfully be added to your project. Now following the same process, this time search for the Kingfisher package using the GitHub URL as the following https://github.com/onevcat/Kingfisher.
