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.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
Neat, I like the type safe prefix idea.
Personally, I rarely find I need ids to be sortable, so I just go with pure randomness.
I also like to split out a part of the random section into a tag that is easier for me to visually scan and match up ids in logs etc.
I call my ID format afids [0]

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
We have a uuidv7 implementation that we've been using with rocksdb for over a year https://github.com/matrixai/js-id

Plan B for UUIDs: double AES-128
We evaluated ULID but we wanted something that is future proof for our decentralised secret sharing system. So we implemented UUIDv7 in TypeScript called `IdSortable` https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-id
It allows strict monotonic IDs when you provide it the previously generated ID. The resulting data structure is a Uint8Array making it easy to put into binary structures. Can also be used as a key inside any POJO record.

Lesser Known PostgreSQL Features
I had reviewed existing UUIDv7 implementations and many were incorrect or had subtle timing bugs.
We ended up implementing UUIDv7 in our ID generation library https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-id. And we have a number of tests ensuring that it is truly monotonic even across process restarts.
See IdSortable.
