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.

E-ink is so Retropunk
Have you seen the "Open Book" project?

Has anyone made an e-ink ebook reader (but that can use Internet Archive online)?

What Can We Learn from Barnes and Noble's Surprising Turnaround?
>I really wish I could have an e-reader, but again, I don't want to spend money on things that will lock me into a single vendor indefinitely and might just arbitrarily go away.

This may be up your alley.

Are there any small form factor readers (a third the size of a smartphone or smaller)?
It's not a commercial off the shelf product, but the Open Book uses a 4.2" screen. There are other devices you can find on places like AliBaba that are kinda small. However, in general you won't find a name brand commercial ereader under 6" that isn't ina phone body. There were a couple at 5" back-when but the industry really settled on 6" as the common base size.

GitHub Code Search (Preview)
This is very useful to see examples of how people have used APIs that are either poorly documented or not at all. Or even that are well documented, really. Going from docs to code is not always straightforward.
To give you just one example, recently I've been using it to find how people have written code to interface with e-ink displays. I usually have the datasheet which lists all the commands the protocol support, but building it all into a valid startup sequence of ~20 commands to activate the display is left as an exercise for the reader.
So the docs will look like this: https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/6/6a/4.2inch-e-paper-spec...
And what I need is a sequence like this: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book/blob/5c5054c58...

Does anyone know where to find the Open Book ereader as either a kit, components or the completed project?
There is a link to the project early in the article: https://github.com/joeycastillo/The-Open-Book

Anyone know where I can fabricate a case for my Raspberry Pi project?
I like the CutiePi design.

Resources to learn how to create a display-driving embedded linux application?
One decent example I can think of off the top of my head is the CutiePi, which is a cool little tablet with a UI built with QML.

CutiePi – thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet
Personally I've been waiting for the CutiePi to use the CM4, and now they have updated the platform I'll probably get one myself.
Having said that it looks like a missed opportunity here for supplying the masses with a Linux device for learning purposes especially in the developing countries during the pandemic or not. I think the best price for this device is USD$100 as promised by the ill fated OLPC laptop project. Perhaps USD$100 is not much by developed countries standard incomes but in most part of developing countries you are very lucky to have USD$100 disposable income at the end of the month (or year) to buy your children a tablet/laptop/computer.
It also interesting to note that the 2019 Galaxy Tab A (without LTE) with similar specs (8", 2 GB RAM, etc) to the CutiePie is probably cost about USD$100 nowadays [1].
The good news is that since CutiePie is based on open hardware system perhaps someone can use the open design to come up with a cheaper version closer to the USD$100 price point[2].
p/s: RPi 400 costs about USD$100 but the fact it does not has a built-in screen limits it impacts on usability department for children
