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.

Open Source Outdoor Air Quality Monitor
Awesome work! Do you have any plans to add/track gas pollutants?
I run a similar open source app specifically for my little community in Gary, IN https://millerbeach.community and run a RAMP monitor provided by a local company Sensit Technologies, and a PurpleAir II and have about ~4 years worth of data in 15 min intervals. I've been meaning to swap out the PurpleAir with another, but I'll swap it out with this instead!

The Hidden Cost of Air Quality Monitors
I run a lil air quality sensor in the Miller neighbourhood of Gary, IN. I started off with a PurpleAir II, then higher tech monitor from AQMesh for a few months, and now I operate another higher tech monitor from a local company in Valparaiso, IN called Sensit Technologies, which they generously donated.
I also operate a AIS boat tracker from FleetMon. I did track aircraft flying to/from ORD/MDW/GYY, and also the local train operator SouthShore line have an open API (I wish the other tracks, Norfolk Southern, would have an API!)
I built a crappy lil frontend/api using Express and do plan to continue to work on it and track more stuff, hopefully more people with use it. Hopefully it convinces some more citizen scientists to run their own (bring your own cloud & hardware)

It's actually had a lot of visits recently due the the BP oil refinery leaking SO2 after a recent storm [1], and now the Canadian wildfires bringing that PM our way, our air quality is the worst it's been since I've started to track it.
I was hoping to figure out how to turn the years of data into an infographic, or use AI to digest the data and generate a bunch of useful data points/stats. If anyone knows of an easy way, rather than creating the queries by hand!

The Hidden Cost of Air Quality Monitors
They may be referring to the changes to PurpleAir API [0] that introduces paid requests that you can rip through quickly when doing large scale analysis.
In the United States, AirNow.gov includes most PurpleAir sensors, although they are annotated differently than “higher quality” sensors (I was going to say than government sensors, but here in Connecticut, the state has a number of PurpleAir monitors deployed and rapidly deployed more when stuff got bad due to Canadian wildfires a few weeks ago).
Fortunately, for local users, you can hit your own sensor and grab the data however often you want. I even wrote a tool to help out and drop it into influxdb and post it to MQTT[1]. They still support local fetching of data. However, many default integrations from tools like Home Assistant could be affected as they use the cloud integration.
