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.

Free websites that are so useful they feel illegal to know
What a silly list with a disappointing title. The paywall dodger was the only site on the list that A) I hadn't already heard of and B) could possibly be construed as illegal. Here's my list:
https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ - needs no explanation.
https://camelcamelcamel.com/ - Amazon price tracker.
https://www.g2a.com/ - buy/sell reused software licenses and keys, usually between 10% and 60% of MSRP, just check that they aren't stolen first...
https://www.steamregionalprices.com/ - Check the price of Steam games in other countries so you know where to set your VPN.
http://makemkv.com/ - DVD/BluRay ripping tool with really good support for breaking DRM.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sponsorblock-for-y... - Skip over sponsored segments of YouTube videos.
https://newpipe.net/ - Alternate Android client which blocks YouTube ads by default.
https://www.eldorado.gg/ - buy and sell video game accounts to dodge bans, play on different regions, etc.
https://github.com/travisbrown/cancel-culture - Dig up Twitter dirt on people.
https://github.com/jivoi/awesome-osint#-Table-of-Contents - Giant list of tools for finding people on the Internet.
https://aruljohn.com/freeshell/ - list of UNIX servers you can get a free account on.
https://www.cloudatcost.com/ - the most cheap, scummy cloud provider I have ever used.
https://tachiyomi.org/ - Manga client which gets you ""free"" copies of things.
https://www.freetaxusa.com/ - nothing sketchy about this except the name. All the features of TurboTax, etc and more for $15.
https://github.com/derv82/wifite2 - Wireless network "auditing"
Note I don't actually condone piracy, doxxing, etc. I'm just saying this is a much more interesting list to talk about.

A statement about my Scala open source work
The OP is one of the most dedicated proponents of the Cancel Culture. Seriously: he made cancel-culture app. I'm interpreting his post, as a reaction to the recent events (the pushback), and an attempt to reach for wider audience.

Why is tpolecat against ZIO?
One of the ones you refer to (cancel-culture: https://github.com/travisbrown/cancel-culture) is designed to make his own twitter experience better. Is someone not allowed to block others on twitter? Is it cancelling to decide I don't want to be forced to listen to someone? Obviously the answer is "no"; no-one has the unobstructed right to post something to twitter and everyone sees it, we all have the right to not listen to someone if we don't want to.

I had a great experience with Scala and hopefully it will get more popular
scala has 2 healthy and pretty complete lib ecosystems : check out typelevel and ZIO. Both are FP oriented, which might not be your cup of tea at first glance but I would encourage you to try em out ! Softest introduction would be to start with the typelevel cats library and build up from there. The excellent Scala with Cats will ease you softly into an FP mindset. It's a bit dated and for scala 2 only but translating to Scala 3 is a very good exercise if you feel so inclined !

Is it prudent to use Scala for anything new?
Last but not least, Scala is currently the language with one of the best effect systems in my opinion (https://zio.dev/). Kotlin for example has copied the approach with https://arrow-kt.io/ which I think is great actually. But when comparing Scala and Kotlin here, Scala wins by a large margin, it is a completely different world. It's like building a highly concurrent system in Erlang vs C.
Of course, if you don't want to learn things like union types, traits/typeclasses and effects (similar to async/await but more powerful) you will be annoyed by Scala. But once you learned them, you can never go back.

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? [pdf]
I use ZIO (http://zio.dev) for Scala which makes parallel programming trivial.
Wraps different styles of asynchronicity e.g. callbacks, futures, fibers into one coherent model. And has excellent resource management so you can be sure that when you are forking a task that it will always clean up after itself.
Have yet to see anything that comes close whilst still being practical i.e. you can leverage the very large ecosystem of Java libraries.

40x Faster! We rewrote our project with Rust!
The one advantage Rust has over Scala is that it detects data races at compile time, and that's a big time saver if you use low level thread synchronization. However, if you write pure FP code with ZIO or Cats Effect that's basically a non-issue anyway.
