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.

Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
I played with a similar idea a while ago: https://github.com/ecordell/cuezel/ (cuezel as in: "Bazel but with CUE"), but I was never sure that what I was doing was in the spirit of CUE.
CUE pushes nondeterminism into "_tool.cue"[0] files that are allowed to do things like IO and run external processes. Tool files scratch a similar itch to Makefiles, but they lack an integrated plugin system like Bazel (hence why I played with the idea of CUE + Bazel).
With Dagger you seem to be restricted to the set of things that the dagger tool can interpret just with like my Cuezel tool you are limited to what I happened to implement.
In CUE `_tool` files you are also limited to the set of things that the tool builtins provide, but the difference is that you know that the rest of the CUE program is deterministic/pure (everything not in a _tool file).
There's clearly value in tooling that reads CUE definitions, and dagger is the first commercial interest in CUE that I've seen, which is exciting.
But I'm most interested in some CUE-interpreter meta-tool that would allow you to import cue definitions + their interpreters and version them together, but for use in `_tool` files to keep the delineation clear. Maybe this is where dagger is heading? (if so it wasn't clear from the docs)

Launch HN: Infisical (YC W23) – Open-source secrets manager for developers
Hi. I'm also working on an E2E secrets manager. https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak
A few tips.
1. It looks like I'm able to do account enumeration on your login page. For a secure app you want to make sure this is not possible.
- Ask HN: What are some good examples of Rust code bases to read and learn from?

Ask HN: Which CI/CD do you use for a monorepo?
You want to take a look at Earthly. https://earthly.dev/
This gives you a mix of docker and a makefile.
The best bit is you can test your pipeline locally and you are vendor agnostic.
I'm using it here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak

Ask HN: Where do you host images for your blog or landing pages?
I commit to a github repo and that gets deployed to cloudflare pages. https://pages.cloudflare.com/
I use Zola the static site generator. My repo is here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/tree/main/www

Launch HN: DeploySentinel (YC S22) – End-to-end tests that don't flake
Hi we are running selenium tests in our CI/CD pipeline.
We do actually generate a video of the tests running as an example see here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/actions/runs/2787628672
We're not using cypress we use webdriver connected to a selenium docker instance.
Is that something you can connect to?

Ask HN: How to find a problem a solo founder could and would want to solve?
I can give you a concrete example if that helps.
I looked at the "secrets automation" space and my background is cryptography and web development.
I'm a solo developer so when I look at a problem I have to make the solution small enough that I can actually build it.
I also have to have an idea about how I will get people to use my product i.e. marketing.
In my case 1Password raised 620million in funding based on their acquisition of Secretshub which for me proves there is a market in secrets automation for developers.
I looked at the secretshub product and I was confident I could build it better with easier to use encryption and make it open source.
As the market is developers I feel writing blog articles about software development will give me a route to market.
So I started about 4 months ago. The product is now here https://cloak.software and source code is here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak
My first article about web development with rust has already had 16K views so I'm confident with the marketing approach. Now the hard works starts of turning visitors into paying users.
Hope this helps.

Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines
I've been using Earthly for about 6 months.
Earthly uses Dockerfile style syntax so I don't have to learn a new language, I can leverage my existing knowledge.
Another advantage is that in Earthly I can run up a docker compose within my pipeline so that I have selenium, envoy and postgres running for integration testing.
You can see my integration tests here https://github.com/purton-tech/cloak/blob/main/Earthfile#L14...
Is that possible in dagger?
