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.

Ouch 0.3.0 released!
I'm a little leery of clap taking on the role of color control. I've found that each library with "auto" support does it slightly differently and that really the best place for that policy is in the caller so there is a consistent experience and so it can adapt to the caller's needs. The WG-CLI has talked about this in the past and concolor family of crates is the result. I'm waiting on feedback for termcolor's use case (non-ANSI) before going 1.0 at which point we will probably make this the backend for clap's auto color support.

Simple, fast and safety alternative for unzip
There's one that's also written in rust: https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch

Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal
I use for some time Ouch, It's a CLI tool for compressing and decompressing various formats (at this moment .tar, .zip, .gz, .xz, .lzma, .bz, .bz2, .lz4, .sz, .zst). You can compress, decompress or list archive. It's just one binary application, without dependencies and for my usage is very fast. I don't create a lot of archives, I usually unpack them when I download something from the web and so far I'm very happy with ouch. It has a simple command syntax. I use on my machines with Debian musl version from release page and on Arch there are packages in AUR (to build with cargo or binary version).

Is there a tool to handle decompression of multiple formats?
I personally use ouch. It suppirts a bunch of stuff and to quote the readme:
- Painless Compression and Decompression in the Terminal
-
Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?
ouch - a command-line app to unify file compression and decompression
- Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
- Ouch 0.3.0 released!

Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?
Shameless plug here, my favorite project currently is ouch, nobody knows about it, but I think it might gain some traction when we publish it again.
- ouch: a small, cross-platform unified CLI app for file (de)compression
What are some alternatives?
