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.

Practical Crystal through API Client library building
Crystal provides a built-in test runner and a fully-featured spec library, inspired by Rspec. I tried out the built-in spec library, and it worked pretty well, but found myself reaching for more of what I was used to from the actual Rspec gem. This led me to discover the Spectator shard, which provided most of the Rspec helpers I was used to and made me feel much more productive. I definitely recommend it!

An Ode to Ruby
So you are accusing me of lying, how lovely of you!
Let's see if your accusations can hold up to Socratic questioning:
- If I haven't open sourced any Crystal projects does that mean I haven't written any?
- I have published several Ruby gems[0], when was the last commit or version bump for any of them? You're more interested that I am, tell me. I really should archive them, thanks for reminding me.
- You missed off my Gitlab, what was the last public contribution I made there? (hint[1])
- What's the last gem I created? I reckon it's this one that I didn't publish[2] because the Rack team changed a public API in such a dumb way that I'd have to rewrite it and then mucked me around with a pull request to Rack that one of the core team copy and pasted in as their own commit while arguing against the pull. Weird, but lovely people, like yourself. Meanwhile, your cookies lack security. Yes, I want to continue working within this language and ecosystem… Does the sarcasm come through in my writing?
- Why did you not check the Crystal repo?[3][4] Github has a search facility. Put my username in, and pick `commits` on the left.
- How did you miss the forks of Docopt.cr[5] and Fancyline[6]? They're right there in my public activity log. Did you not see the merges into Fancyline of my code?[7] I have more to give, just trying to find the time.
- Did you not see forks with commits such as xattr.cr[8], xdg.cr[9], and Pope.cr[10]
- You didn't see I'd provided a project[11] for Mint so it can be run easier with Docker Compose?
- Aside from that I have a whole host of changes to migrate.cr[12] still to push up. You can't know that but you might've guessed that I was at least working with that - and all the other forks of Crystal projects I have.
That is all public and not the half of the Crystal code I look at.
Should I expect an apology? If you were too cowardly to be straightforward with your accusations then I find it stretches credulity far beyond breaking that you could be big enough to provide one. We'll see, like you, I've been very wrong about people in the past.
