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.

Weekly r/Tattoos Question/FreeTalk Thread! - January 14, 2023
Use some sort of short text compression like unishox2. This can reduce a sentence like the above to a hex string of efbfaf95c4ea327cb26bd7488419958d24d7970884201310a5. Each of these characters going from 0-f (0-16) can be represented in binary like 0000 to 1111 and can be represented as circles (if a circle is present, 1, if not 0). I thought of a space saving measure which would to be to have one set of 4 circles inside another 4 set of circles. Since a pair of hex values represents a single character for the output of unishox2, group of 4 smaller circles each inside 4 larger circles can represent a byte. Here is an example design for the example sentence. Perhaps the center could be filled with some sort of art work?

Frustration about either bugs or my own dumbness
So I just received my watchy today and wanted to upload a new watchface. When trying the arduino-method stated in the official docs I run into this error https://github.com/sqfmi/Watchy/issues/166 .

Watchy: The Hackable $50 Smartwatch
Wow, this article doesn't do it justice.
Watchy is an open source hardware device that uses an e-ink display and has an ESP32 module builtin [0].
SQFMI, the creator of watchy, has a twitter account [1] which has some very nice screenshots [2] [3]. Even the CrowdSupply website has better pics of the device [4].
This is one of the few watches I've been sorely tempted to buy.

E-Ink Watch based on the ESP32
It's on sale on Tindie. But I recommend to look at their github repo. Not many updates and one issue says that example code is nothing you would consider as smart watch. https://github.com/sqfmi/Watchy/releases
