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.

Markdown, Asciidoc, or reStructuredText - a tale of docs-as-code
Unlike docToolchain or Asciidoctor, Antora is a true framework for Asciidoc that can store, retrieve, and aggregate all Asciidoc content from multiple git repositories. Antora’s page referencing system isn’t coupled to filesystem paths or URLs. You are able to cross reference pages across a local machine, a staging environment, and a production environment. To generate a site with Antora, you need the Antora CLI and Antora site generator.

I read the full-GitHub-flavored markdown spec so you do not have to. GitHub natively supports many lesser known features including the ability to create diagrams, maps and even 3D models, directly from markdown text.
Extension frameworks like Stripe’s, MarkDoc allows documentation to have code examples in multiple languages.

Rust Is the Future of JavaScript Infrastructure
I'm bullish on Rust, but there's a long way still to go. The overhead of passing values across the boundary between JavaScript and Rust is quite high. There are a lot of cases where you want to be able to provide a dynamic configuration to Rust, ideally in JavaScript, and that's still pretty costly from a performance perspective.
One of my projects (https://markdoc.dev/) is a Markdown dialect that supports custom tags and a React renderer. I recently experimented with implementing a parser for it in Rust in order to increase performance. My Rust-based parser is significantly faster than my existing JavaScript parser, but then I have to serialize the AST in order to move it from Rust to JavaScript. I'd like to implement the entire processor in Rust, but I need to let users define custom tags in JavaScript, and the overhead of going back and forth is far from ideal.
I'm hopeful that the recently-ratified Wasm GC proposal—which introduces managed structs and arrays that don't cost anything to pass between the Wasm environment and JavaScript—will help a lot. But it's going to take awhile for Wasm GC features to land in LLVM and be properly supported in Rust.

Alternatives to Madcap?
Consider going down the docs-as-code route. There are open source options that require an investment of time for you to become familiar with the tech stack, so learn Markdown and Git if you haven't already. Stripe (who many consider to have some of the best documentation available) created Markdoc as a means of easily maintaining solid docs with some of the fancy quirks of the upper-end doc tools, including content re-use.

Use Markdoc and Next.js to Build a Git-powered Markdown Blog
Most modern developer blogs and documentation websites have one thing in common— they run on JAMstack (static websites) and their content is file-based and powered by Git. This allows multiple developers to collaboratively edit content with perks like versioning and version control. In this tutorial, we’re going to see how we can build a simple yet powerful and interactive blog with Next.js and Markdoc.
