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.

Should I take the Ardan Labs course? If yes, then which one?
Ultimate Service was useful for me. None of the "backend" concepts were new, but you get to see how Bill would layout/design an API-based service. If you're experienced you'll notice the opinionated choices he makes, and I found myself saying "Nah, I'm not sure I'd do it like that". I appreciated its use of Kubernetes and KIND as I'd never played with them before. How he uses Docker to spin up a DB instance for tests is pretty cool. There's a lot of copy & paste as you code along with him (you copy from the "finished project" and paste into your work in progress). The full example project is online at https://github.com/ardanlabs/service. You won't write all that code, and this version is newer than the one I did, but it gives you an idea of what you might learn.

If you could go back in time | What would you do different regarding go
So what can you do insted? For testing databases, setup a docker instance for tests (e.g. like in https://github.com/ardanlabs/service), or start an embedded-postgres daemon (see https://github.com/fergusstrange/embedded-postgres). For communication with external APIs, just pass the http.Client (either in context.Context or as a field on the struct). Then in tests, you can override the http.Client.Transport func.

GO web sever - file structuring convention
Take a look at https://github.com/ardanlabs/service from Bill Kennedy. You can probably simplify the structure a bit since your project is minimal, but that repo is gold.

Say you're mentoring someone just getting comfortable with go. What do you think they should know?
Checkout https://github.com/ardanlabs/service for inporation. Tip: try to avoid creating a service package with all services, a domain package with all domain structs, etc.

Any resources on building a simple web app with Go without any frameworks?
Or go through this repo https://github.com/ardanlabs/service

GitHub - johnwarden/httperror: Golang package for returning errors instead of handling them directly.
I've seen this handler modification and wrapping pattern in Ardan Labs' service repository. https://github.com/ardanlabs/service/tree/master/foundation/web

REST API project structure
https://github.com/ardanlabs/service This is something which I really like and has taken into account a lot of engineering decisions.
- GitHub examples of Go that's written really well?
- Is "Let's go" and "Let's go further" worth it?

I've just started learning Golang, and I'm struggling to choose a framework.
I maintain a repository where I usually play with these tools and try to model how I ideally like to use them: https://github.com/sagikazarmark/modern-go-application
