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.

Tantivy 0.20 is released: Schemaless column store, Schemaless aggregations, Phrase prefix queries, Percentiles, and more...
I don't think you have an active project that addresses all those use cases. There was an attempt in Rust with Toshi that is built on top of tantivy, but the project seems to have stalled.

Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
I wish we had an extension like ZomboDB but using a lighter search engine like https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit, https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi and https://github.com/mosuka/bayard
Here I'm listing engines based on https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy - tantivy is comparable to Lucene in its scope - but I'm sure there are other engines that could tackle ElasticSearch.
Another thing that could happen is maybe directly embed tantivy in Postgres using an extension, perhaps this could be an option too.

Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
I do something similar, though I index the page myself via a little browser extension I wrote. I click a button, the content gets POSTed to a server that throws it in Toshi[1]. I hacked it together on a Saturday, and it's been pretty handy; as you describe, much more useful than any bookmarking approach I've tried before.

*set Edge as default browser*
There is some incredible work being done in the web department, frameworks like rocket.rs and actix.rs are amazing. To get the latest info on web development in Rust, check arewewebyet.org. It doesn't list Toshi though, which is weird.

Converting a web page to Org mode to include in my notes
There is an extension called Grasp which acts as a web clipper, you highlight the relevant part & add a tag. It's pretty great. But it only appends to a file. https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp

How to organize bookmarks using emacs?
I use grasp to capture links from the browser. It also captures any text you have selected on the page and you can add tags and a description.

I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc.
I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1].
Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing.
That way I don't need to worry about spending too much time processing bookmarks and that I'd never read them, I can just read the most interesting stuff and the rest is searchable (so I use it as a knowledge base/personal search engine), and surfaces in my browser via Promnesia, so I can find out if I have some relevant information in my knowledge base without actively searching. I don't need to suffer from vendor lock-in (even if the service/tool is open, migration is always painful), I can just add another adapter to my system and feed it into Promnesia/Orger.

Phase II of "Opinions for developing a browser extension(Firefox)"
In tech terms, behind the scene, yes is complex, but in practical terms just see https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp/ :-)
- Need opinions regarding developing a browser extension(firefox) for taking notes from a webpage

How do you browse the Internet?
Grasp (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grasp and https://beepb00p.xyz/grasp.html for the system/python listener) and Promnesia (https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html) help me "import" quick bookmarks to org-mode (I can't use org-protocol with firejail, at least I have to tweak firejail and I never tried to do so). They demand a small effort (perhaps a quick python venv somewhere in the home to remain self-contained) but they are helpful.

How do you get feedback from your systems?
for reading, I'm currently trying to set up elfeed and come sort of capture like grasp. My idea is to use org-mode to also log those things (kinda) effortless.
What are some alternatives?

promnesia - Another piece of your extended mind
narg - A tool to generate LC/AP formulas for a given seed in Noita.
