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: Why no browser-based E2E encryption?
[where this model breaks down] -- Alice and Bob go to your website and have a conversation. Eve hacks into the website and modifies the E2EE code. She can switch between serving the normal webapp and the malicious non-E2EE webapp. There's no good way to detect it. There are people out there who really like end to end security, but don't like browser-based e2ee because it doesn't have end to end security.
Note: https://www.cyph.com/ is a bbE2EE chat system.

E2EE on the web: is the web that bad?
If we do care about the delta in security model between the web and other platforms, then we could build some kind of code bundling and signing mechanism for web applications, perhaps with some kind of transparency layer on top to make the code publicly auditable and make it harder to target specific users with malicious code. A bundling/signing/transparency solution for the web could probably be built out of some of a collection of mechanisms that already exist or have at least been explored. Related ideas include Subresource Integrity, Isolated Web Apps, Signed Exchanges and Web Packaging, Meta’s Code Verify extension, and source code and supply chain transparency proposals.
Incidentally, I've actually just recently developed a solution to this exact problem: https://www.websign.app.
WebSign started a while back as an internal framework used by the Cyph E2EE messenger (https://www.cyph.com), and @eganist and I gave a talk that covered part of the architecture at Black Hat and DEF CON. Now we have a static web hosting service built around it for others to use, which takes care of bundling and code signing during deployment.
If anyone here has a use case for it, we're looking for pilot customers now. Just shoot me an email at [email protected].

Graph of Keybase commits pre and post Zoom acquisition
https://github.com/cyph/cyph
It would be wasteful to throw away the Web of Trust (people with handles to keys) that everyone entered into Keybase. Hopefully, Zoom will consider opening up the remaining pieces of Keybase if not just spinning the product back out to a separate entity?
W3C DIDs and https://blockcerts
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19185998 https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-19185998 :
> There's also "Web Key Directory"; which hosts GPG keys over HTTPS from a .well-known URL for a given user@domain identifier: https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD
> GPG presumes secure key distribution
> Compared to existing PGP/GPG keyservers [HKP], WKD does rely upon HTTPS.
Blockcerts can be signed when granted to a particular identity entity:

Tim Bray's De-Google Project
A good Dropbox alternative is Peergos (founder here). Peergos is an E2EE P2P storage, sharing and application protocol. Fully open source, including the server, self-hostable, no VCs.

Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift
You can do that with peergos [1]- mount a peergos folder locally using FUSE. Or login to the web interface and share easily and privately.

The problem with federated web apps
You might be interested in the p2p design of Peergos. You sign up to Peergos[0]. Your initial server is just responsible for storing your data (although you can run as many live mirrors as you like), and clients verify all updates. You can automatically move server (by running a command) and all your data is moved, and old links continue to work, and you keep your social graph and identity.
You can also log in through any instance, including localhost. Links also work on any server because they include a capability to the content in the link.
This is the beauty of content addressing plus public key based addressing.
