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.

Is Vulkan's rendering technique "Render-to-Texture"?
Well, you'll still have to provide the imageview yourself, so it's not that different than other APIs, I've made an implementation myself not a long ago, here

What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.
- Where do I start learning graphics programming?

Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part III
An excellent starting point for anyone interested in low-level graphics programming is Sokolov’s tinyraytracer [0]. It’s also a great way to learn a new language (work through the code while porting it to $DIFFERENT_LANGUAGE).
