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: Anyone use a code to mindmap/flowchart tool?
I wish something existed in this space. I used Coati Software's Sourcetrail for a couple of years. Unfortunately it was discontinued. It was a wonderful piece of software that indexed a code repository, and exposed an interface to explore it interactively. At least for me, it significantly improved the understanding and legibility of code.
The code is in an archived state (https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail). Searching for the software on Google shows some screenshots.

Ask HN: What would an IDE built for the Apple Vision Pro look like?
I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

How to quickly learn/understand the system architecture of any given application?
Sourcetrail: Free and open-source cross-platform source explorer https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

Tools to understand a new code base
I've used https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail in the past for some bits of the legacy code project I'm on. I also use vim and cscope for day to day navigation but it's harder to get a big picture with those alone.

Sourcetrail?

Does it strive to do what Sourcetrail used to ?

How to understand a c++ project
You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.

Any good tool to visualize code/calls graph?
like this https://github.com/scottrogowski/code2flow（it is for javascript）
-
Recommendation for visually mapping script logic?
Look at call graphs, this might help you get started: https://github.com/scottrogowski/code2flow
- Code2flow: Pretty good call graphs for dynamic languages
- Convert Source Code to Flowchart

Discontinue Sourcetrail
I maintain a similar (but less popular) open-source CLI that generates flow charts for dynamic languages (Python, JS, Ruby, PHP) - https://github.com/scottrogowski/code2flow/
The thought has crossed my mind to try to actually sell it as a SaaS. But by itself, call graph visualizers are the sort of thing that you would need only once or only every once in a while. That sort of software is very difficult to monetize - as 10,000 failed productivity app companies could tell you. I don't know the details of what happened with Sourcetrail but I assume it was similar - developers might have found it useful occasionally but it's not something most developers would use daily or even monthly - so it's hard to justify a subscription.
