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.

How to identify technologies ?
Usually when I as a user want to check if a technology exists or is legit I do a GitHub search like a GitHub advanced search or a Google Advanced Search, and for the Google Advanced Search if I want it to search for things in GitHub I will put https://github.com/ in the "site or domain:" field. Google puts more popular results closer to the top so usually I would just click the first result and then look at the number of stars on GitHub and if the number is low (like less than 1000) it's not a sufficiently popular project. You could write code that automates the process of doing a Google Advanced Search or searching GitHub by using Selenium or maybe just making an API call or HTTP request then using something like BeautifulSoup to scrape the site (BeautifulSoup converts the site into an object that you can query). GitHub just uses plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without using a framework like React or Angular so it shouldn't be too hard to scrape.

What do i do to become hireable?
Next, find a project that takes contributions (many do). You said you know TypeScript and JavaScript, so search for repositories in those languages. You can use GitHub's advanced search to search by language, just set the language to JavaScript or TypeScript and click search, you don't have to fill out anything else. Alternatively, if there's a tool or website you like to use, see if it's hosted on GitHub and check the "Issues" tab in the repository's main page.

I am a REAL bad software developer and this is my life
I don't know for sure, but it might be possible for you to make the jump from hobby to professional. There are a lot of technical books on Amazon, there are various coding and programming communities and groups on Reddit and Facebooks, and there are lots of potential codebases that you could try working on on GitHub (I personally used GitHub advanced search at https://github.com/search/advanced ). Sometimes on GitHub they label coding issues for beginners with the "easy" label which you can search for using GitHub advanced search. Oh, and there are coding bootcamps which take a percentage of your income after you're hired, plus there are programs in the US like Revature and SkillStorm that will put you into a shitty junior coding position for two years at $15-$20 an hour but then if you do okay or good at that and get good references you can move to a non-junior level position after that at much better pay. In my experience you usually don't know how well you will perform at a job until after you actually have to do that job.

I moved to Helsinki, Finland for work. AMA!
I get asked this a lot and the answer is rather simple: build projects that scratch an itch. For example, I wanted a simple way to save articles I read online without using bookmarking services etc. and I built https://forlater.email. Another example: I wanted a nice UI for my self-hosted git repos and I didn't really like any of the existing ones, so I made one myself: https://github.com/icyphox/legit. It's really just that -- see what annoys you about everyday computing and attempt to solve it!
