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 apps have you created for your own use?
Over Covid, I got really into solving the Rubik’s cube. I couldn’t find any minimalistic apps to help me time myself and learn algorithms. So, I ended up writing an app for myself, which I later showed off on Reddit.
People really seemed to like the design, so I cleaned it up a bit and made it available to everyone. The site (https://cubedesk.io) has been free to use for 3 years and has 50k users.
Most recently, I've been working on an email marketing platform to help me email those 50k users. I noticed that emailing all those people was expensive and tedious, so created and launched https://cc.dev

Cubedesk or Cstimer?

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Idk if this counts but I built myself a Rubik's cube timer and eventually made it public:
https://cubedesk.io
It was a weekend project which I used for several weeks before sharing it on Reddit. The feedback was so good I decided to make it public.

Tell HN: I got my first open source PR after 5 months
this one? https://github.com/kash/cubedesk/pull/129 by https://github.com/afedotov ?

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
https://cubedesk.io - the chess.com of Rubik’s cubes
I started this as a side project about two years ago and now it has about 1k daily active users. Users time themselves solving the Rubik’s cube, practice on the trainer, and 1v1 others.
Technically, it’s generating some money from the Pro feature, but not enough to run the servers. So I pay out of pocket every month. It has a lot of fans and supporters so I’d never shut it down, but it’d be nice to at least break even.

csTimer Data Deleted part 2
or you can export cstimer's solve to a file and import to cubedesk.io instead.

Let's Talk about Joins
I've also been frustrated when testing out tools that kinda keep you locked into one predetermined view, table, or set of tables at a time. I made a semantic data modeling library that puts together queries (and of course joins) for you as it uses a drill-across querying technique, and can also join data across different data sources in a secondary execution layer.

Disclaimer: this project is currently a one man show, though I use it in production at my own company.

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
https://github.com/totalhack/zillion
Semantic data warehousing and analytics tool written in python. It has experimental/half-baked NLP features to query your warehouse by interacting with the semantic layer with AI, instead of the normal approach of having an LLM write SQL and needing to know your entire schema.
- So I watched a few videos about Fabric, and started to cry a little...

Zillion - Semantic data modeling and analytics with a sprinkle of AI
Hey All, I wanted to share Zillion -- an open source Python data modeling and analytics library with experimental natural language features powered by OpenAI, LangChain, and Qdrant. Zillion acts as a semantic layer on top of your data, writes SQL so you don't have to, and easily bolts onto existing database infrastructure via SQLAlchemy Core.

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Built it for me, but available to all -- Zillion: a python data modeling and analytics library.

🍼🔬 BabyDS: An AI powered Data Analysis pipeline
Nice work. I had considered implementing something similar in https://github.com/totalhack/zillion down the road, probably as a layer on top.

Zillion: https://github.com/totalhack/zillion
A python data warehousing / modeling / analytics library that can unify multiple datasources and writes SQL for you. It's alpha level at the moment and I just slowly chip away when time allows, though I'm using it in production in another project (which does make money).

Replacing a SQL analyst with 26 recursive GPT prompts
This seems fun, but certainly unnecessary. All of those questions could be answered in seconds using a warehouse tool like Looker or Metabase or https://github.com/totalhack/zillion (disclaimer: I'm the author and this is alpha-level stuff, though I use it regularly).

PRQL a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement
At first glance this seems more confusing, particularly the grouping/aggregation syntax, though I suppose that's something I'd just get used to. Some of the syntactic sugar is nice, but some things are also unlike SQL for no apparent reason which just makes adoption harder than necessary (join syntax for example).
IMO the main selling point would be the "database agnostic" part, but I already achieve that through SQLAlchemy Core and/or a warehouse layer like https://github.com/totalhack/zillion (disclaimer: I'm the author and this is alpha-level stuff, though I use it regularly). It seems like many newer DB technologies/services I'd want to use either speak PostgreSQL or MySQL wire protocol anyway.
The roadmap is worth a read, as it notes some limitations and expected challenges supporting the wide variety of DBMS features and syntax. That said, I can see where this might be useful in the cases where I do have to jump into direct SQL, but want the flexibility to easily switch the back end DB for that code -- that's assuming it can cover the use cases that forced me to write direct SQL in the first place though.
