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: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?
I really wish Livecode hadn't pulled their opensource/Community Edition (and I'd be very glad for someone to do something with that code).
Gambas is something I keep wanting to try and seems promising.
I did one small app w/ Python and TKinter, but it was a dense wall of text/code when I was finished and not something I was interested in revisiting. I keep seeing suggestions that Python w/ QT support is supposed to be quite good.
One unlikely option is Google's Blockly (which I wish had a stand-alone desktop implementation which would make graphical programs), which has a nifty version implementing OpenSCAD:
https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/
which I've used a fair bit. Moving on from there, there is: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor which has the advantage of encompassing the entirety of OpenSCAD. It's also possible to wrap up Python using PythonSCAD.org
If you're willing to consider other node/line connection systems two promising options are:
https://ryven.org/
and
https://nodezator.com/
What sort of coding, on what sort of projects do you want to do?

Standardized, Python based Block Diagram File Format for Dynamic Modeling as an Open Source Alternative to Matlab and Simulink
There are general visual programming tools for python like ryven or PyFlow that should be able to run generic code, so in theory you can put SimuPy code in the blocks.

Ask HN: Visualizing software designs, especially of large systems (if at all)?
"What does an algorithm look like?"
I'm an intensely visual person, but have never found a visual programming system which scales well --- the problem is, past a certain level of complexity one has to use modules, which then devolves the visual representation down to just a bunch named blocks.
That said, I'm using BlockSCAD:
https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1421975
to work up designs which I'm then putting into other tools.
Looking at GraphSCAD:
http://graphscad.blogspot.com
and there's also Ryven and pythonocc which I managed to get installed:
https://ryven.org
https://github.com/Tanneguydv/Pythonocc-nodes-for-Ryven
but I'd really like to see a tool for this sort of thing which made G-code.
- my list of self-hosted (dev) tools
- Ryven – Flow-based visual scripting for Python
-
PyFlow – a tool for visual and modular block programming in Python
Why this over https://ryven.org/ ?
-
PyFlow – Visual scripting framework for Python – NodeRED alternative?
Interesting, came across https://ryven.org/ recently which looks in the same domain.
Any practical use cases of either being used?
Huge fan of NodeRED, always thought the paradigm could be leveraged for other heavy workflow applications

Blender + Ryven; leveraging the power of node editors in Blender by building on top of an open Python-based framework
I'm developing Ryven (https://ryven.org), a python-based visual nodes editor/platform. I recently published a tiny prototype plugin for Ryven 3.1 inside Blender (https://github.com/leon-thomm/ryven-blender). As Ryven is Python-based and quite easy to use, and Blender already had success with an integrated nodes editor, I would like to find out whether based on Blender's Python API it'd be possible to develop a large, powerful, compatible, and easily extensible framework of nodes for Blender that run on Ryven.

Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams
Second this.
Reference for anyone looking I to it: https://c4model.com/
There is also quite a lot of options for helping create these diagrams. I've found https://structurizr.com/ to be the best of what I've tried so far.

Ask HN: How do you document complex software systems?
The C4 model [0] provides a mostly sensible structure and techniques for representing pure software systems across different abstraction levels.
For systems involving software and hardware, or other complex interfacing (both technology and bureaucracy) this starts to delve into the universe of systems engineering. There's a decent assembly of knowledge on that in the SEBoK [1].
As another commenter has already called out too, one of the most valuable sources of information is also _why_ a system is in its current form and _how_ that's changed over time. ADR's [2] really do a good job at nailing this for just about any scale.

A View on Functional Software Architecture
There a various standards for documenting software architecture, like arc42 or C4. While useful and somewhat well-known (there is certainly a correlation here), here architecture documentation can be further simplified, particularly due to the self-similarity of project and component. Following is a small template, that can also serve as a project's and component's README:
- The C4 model for visualising software architecture

Inkscape Cloud Architect
I would suggest that if your architecture diagrams are a bunch of icons provided by AWS/Azure/GCP with lines pointing at each other... you are doing it wrong.
The 'what does this box do for my system' is vastly more important than the 'which in vogue offering from my cloud provider implements it'.
I highly suggest folks take a look at the C4 Model: https://c4model.com/

How to create interactive zoomable software architecture diagrams
We often use abstractions in software engineering to communicate complex architectures and software systems. In this article, we’ll discuss how abstractions are inherently hierarchical and how the C4 model provides a nested structure for defining your software architecture. We’ll then cover how IcePanel allows you to create interactive and zoomable diagrams for your audience to zoom in and out of different levels of technical detail.
