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.

- Honoring The Code -- series looking at (and potentially improving) old Apple II source code examples
- Interesting Approach!
- Bitmap Creator for Apple II hires sprites/bitmaps
- 6502 SpASM (6502 Spreadsheet Assembler and Linker)
- A 6502 assembler in Microsoft Excel VBA (no, I'm not kidding) -- kind of amazing
- A 6502 assembler in Microsoft Excel VBA (yes you read that right)

The worst of the two worlds: Excel meets Outlook
This is the part which saves crazy time:
The loving part of VBA is its interoperability across the Office suite, but there's no reason why that couldn't be done in, say, Python
I agree with you, but Python and pretty much every code environment is missing a few things that create a pretty high barrier to entry:
For a whole lot of things, VBA is not even needed. People put data into cells, operate on it with formulas in other cells that drop output into still other cells which are then used to get output.
Input can be almost anything these days.
Formulas have a well defined, easy to understand syntax that work across a wide variety of operators.
Output can be almost anything these days too.
And it's live. Make a change, see it happen.
That's real power! People don't have to know much to make it all work either.
I have been using Excel to transform business data for years, model business and a lot of other things, and as a rapid prototype system. I can write code too. Often I do, but the more specific and or variable the task is, like a one off need to solve yesterday, the more attractive just banging it out in Excel becomes.
Check this thing out:
https://github.com/tilleul/apple2/tree/master/tools/6502_ass...
It's a perfectly usable, and I would suggest one of the easiest, assemblers I've ever seen!
I just used it to knock out a little routine for a retro-game project I'm working on and was kind of stunned at how lean, accessible, functional this really is.

LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:
1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.
2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Ask HN: What two software products should have a kid?
Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.
I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.
Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.
E.g. Just some....
- pocketable.io & datasette (+with some more charting) [https://pocketbase.io, https://datasette.io]

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/
I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.
