The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Crate List - Blessed.rs
https://github.com/google/argh is another minimal library for CLI argument parsing that could be in the list

Rust Web Framework Comparison
My go-to is argh[1], as it's more lightweight while still providing a nice derive-based API.

Immediately off the top of your head what is the best Rust CLI library.
It'll panic if the path contains non-UTF8-able bytes.

fncmd: Command line interface as a function.
Yes clap needs a lot of boilerplate that small programs don't always need, but if you're going to simplify it, I don't think having a bunch of arguments given to the main function is better than having an option struct as in argh. Such an option struct can be given to other functions from the main, can have dedicated consistency check or completion methods, etc.

Newbie frustration: can we KISS more?
Typically programs are configured through a config object. People like to use things like clap, structopt, or argh for passing in arguments through the CLI https://github.com/google/argh. You can also use the env! macro for embedding values in at compile time, or by going through the std::env::var infrastructure for runtime env vars.

Darkroom: A VCR contract testing tool built in Rust
Until the argh crate bumps their version I cannot updater the version on crates.io so the install command currently is: cargo install --git https://github.com/mkatychev/darkroom

Announcement: xflags, fast-to-compile proc macro for cli args
Ahh. The secondary reason I discounted Argh as "unsuitable for purpose" after "Doesn't support using OsString under the hood".

- I am not happy with the `crates.io` search.

What's up with aho-corasick lib.rs page?
That's not an accurate characterization. I wrote a lot about my position here: https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/issues/121

Is Lib.rs down for y'all?
I believe they're referring to this issue, if you want to take a look: https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/issues/81

Ways to discover new & trending crates?
Citation needed, that's a pretty bold claim. The site is open source (via link in footer) so any heuristics or algo decisions should be open to whatever level of scrutiny you wish.

Crate List - Blessed.rs
Mostly this issue. I do agree that crypto is scammy, but the way this whole thing was handled really rubbed me the wrong way.
-
The category rankings on Lib.rs are fudged so that Blockchain isn't #1
Well that's just the tip of the iceberg. Lib.rs can do whatever it wants, but I do find this to be a bit silly - and I'm not particularly pro-crypto, either.
- YSK about lib.rs, a pretty alternative to crates.io with better search and discovery
- What does it mean for the crate?
- Lib.rs discriminating cryptocurrency devs
