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.

[OC] One year in life of ocean eddies
There is not really much to it, really. Everything is done in python, with use of standard libraries, of which probably most important in this case is cartopy https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/latest/ This is the latest cartopy tutorial I was able to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivmd3RluMiw
- [OC] This animation shows how the amount of daylight throughout the year changes based on Latitude. Made with Python and the matplotlib library.

Is there a good library for creating maps and altering them according to data?
Cartopy is a great lib that has a ton of utilities for those purposes. It is a little bit tricky to use at first but you can get really nice visualizations. I recommend installing it using with a conda env because its dependencies with other libraries.

Seeking library recommendation for 3D visualization of crystal structure
Two similar alternatives you could look at are PyVista which is based on the same framework as Mayavi and VisPy. Mayavi is strongly dependent on the whole Enthought suite which can be a disadvantage if you don’t really use its abilities.

Show HN: MPL Plotter – Python library to make technical plots more efficiently
2. I recommend Datashader (https://datashader.org/) (HoloViz is super cool) and Vispy (https://vispy.org/). I found Vispy's documentation a bit lacking some time ago, but they probably have improved it since then, and it's very capable. Lastly, check Taichi (https://taichi.graphics/), might not be a conventional data representation library (or rather, not only), but it's amazing and worth a look.
To add some more depth to the Seaborn comparison, and not being an expert Seaborn user, I'd say:
1. MPL Plotter is lighter (but also with less wide-ranging plot options)
What are some alternatives?
folium - Python Data. Leaflet.js Maps.
PyQtGraph - Fast data visualization and GUI tools for scientific / engineering applications
plotly - The interactive graphing library for Python :sparkles: This project now includes Plotly Express!
matplotlib - matplotlib: plotting with Python
bokeh - Interactive Data Visualization in the browser, from Python
pyrender - Easy-to-use glTF 2.0-compliant OpenGL renderer for visualization of 3D scenes.
seaborn - Statistical data visualization in Python
Flask JSONDash - :snake: :bar_chart: :chart_with_upwards_trend: Build complex dashboards without any front-end code. Use your own endpoints. JSON config only. Ready to go.
