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.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
I finally started to take the time to develop the parser and data types for "stutter" [1], a spoken programming language idea I had for a while now.
The underlying idea is that this language is absolutely syntax clutter free and uses grammar similar to how sentences are built, so that it can be predicted and recognized much easier in noisy environments whilst being a programming language that is made for dictation (instead of typing).
I don't want this to be an esoteric idea, so I'm also experimenting a bit with the use case of embedding it ib my browser stealth [2] in order to automate and schedule web scraping tasks.

The "missing" graph datatype already exists. It was invented in the '70s
When you consider that a graph and a matrix are isomorphic, doing vector matrix multiplication takes a vector with a set value, say row 4, and multiplies it by a matrix where row 4 has values present that represent edges to the nodes that are adjacent to it (ie "adjacency" matrix). The result is a vector with the next "step" in a BFS across the graph, do that in a loop and you step across the whole graph.
A cool result of this is, for example, taking an adjacency matrix and squaring it is the "Friend of a Friend" graph. It takes every node/row and multiplies it by itself, returning a matrix that are adjacent to the adjacencies of each node, ie, the friends (adjacencies of the adjacencies) of friends (adjacencies) of the nodes.
Deeper traversal are just higher nodes, a matrix cubed are the friends of the friends of the friends.
A picture is worth a thousand words, see figure 7 of this paper:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.05790.pdf
Also check out figure 8, this shows how incidence matrices can work to represent hyper and multi graphs. An pair of incidence matrices reprsent two graphs, one from nodes to edges and the other from edges to nodes, these are n by m and m by n. When you multiply them, you get a square adjacency matrix that "projects" the incidence into an adjacency. This can be used to collapse hypergraphs into simple graphs that use different semirings to combine the multiple edges.
For some pretty pictures of this kind of stuff, check out CoinBLAS (note I am not a crypto-bro, it was just a very handy extremely large multi-graph that I could easily download in chunks to play with):
