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.

Architecture diagrams should be code
This is a problem with the languages, not a fundamental flaw. Manipulating text has a much higher ceiling than drag and drop, in terms of speed and simplicity. Every programmer has their own ecosystem for manipulating text. I can grep, version control, diff, jump with Vim key bindings, etc.
The layout engines are very hard. We've been making https://terrastruct.com/tala for over 2 years now. At first it seemed dubious whether it was even possible to beat Graphviz, but we've been designing it to emulate how diagrams might look on a whiteboard drawn by humans. That's a very different heuristic than the theoretical hierarchical cross-minimizations that previous algorithms strive for, and it's yielded good results for a subset of diagrams.

(apologies for this path. trying to strike the balance of making it findable for those who search for it while hidden to those who just want free.)

Ask HN: AI to study my DSL and then output it?
On https://flowchart.fun I found that I got better overall results by asking GPT for an intermediate syntax that it was less likely to mess up (and easier for me to parse), and then parsing and transforming that syntax to my DSL. The relevant code: https://github.com/tone-row/flowchart-fun/blob/main/api/prom...
