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.

First DIY Drone Questions!
Since you mentioned programming, one other thing you should consider is the firmware. FPV drones typically run the betaflight firmware. betaflight is fairly mature, feature-rich and is aimed at racers and freestyle pilots. If you’re looking more to tinker with programing, you could start with this instead of a more standard flight controller: https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight

Book on programming my own autopilot
I have similar aspirations. No books, but if you want an example of someone who’s done that before, check out drhemflight. It’s not fully autonomous, but it’s a modular flight stabilizer running on teensy, which uses arduino IDE
- Does anyone know about a good avionics related open source project for learning purposes?

Seeking Advice and Help in Creating a Custom Flight Controller for My Mini Programmable Drone
There's several flight control systems on Github, such as Ardupilot, for example. I wouldn't undertake this without checking out what's already out there, all the way down to simple stabilization systems.

Ask HN: Best programmable drone / open source OS?
To add to this, most of the time one doesn't need to hack on the drone firmware itself. Just configuring/hacking the mission planner alone would go a long way: https://ardupilot.org/planner/
But if you're interested in more readable codebases without too much legacy headaches:
https://github.com/BossHobby/QUICKSILVER (for indoor drones mostly)
And for even less functionality but a good learning tool kind of codebase:

- Does anyone have all the math required for creating a stabilization program for a rocket?
-
What did you wish you knew before making your own drone from scratch?
dRehmFlight is about the simplest a flight controller can get (in terms of code readability).

Inverted pendulum on a racing drone (power loop attempted)
This is actually my own flight controller code running on a teensy 4.0 microcontroller, coded in arduino: https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight

Suggestion for map sharing/after process with large files
There is DroneDB, it's open source project, and you can self-host, or open up projects locally for free. I also believe it has a cloud service that has a few Gb free, but for bigger projects you would have to buy it. It's pretty ok from my experience, but I'm not sure if you can have annotations, I believe it uses similar libraries as WebODM.

How to share point cloud with clients.
For simply sharing a 3d model you could use Sketchfab or DroneDB.
-
What's the best way to turn a 3GB GeoTIFF into a shareable image, all while keeping details? I know you can't have your cake and eat it too but how do you explain this to clients?
DroneDB is a self-hosted application that can do that https://dronedb.app/

Close to taking the plunge with software
Easy hosting of data is totally Drone Deploy's upside, but again the cost/economics of DD was a hard pill for me to swallow. I am very excited about DroneDB: https://dronedb.app/ because it looks like it will fill the sharing void at a much cheaper price point. The interface is not as shiny as DroneDeploy but I love that they offer a "we host" or "you host" option and you can go between the two - that's great for scaling operations if you plan to seriously grow your drone program.

Orthophoto Sharing
you can host and share your ortho on our platform https://project-kiwi.org/ or i’d also recommend drone db! https://dronedb.app/

DroneDB Hub — A versatile open source modern Aerial Data Management ecosystem
It would have been nice if you'd given us the actual GitHub link. When I Googled DroneDB Hub I found the page for the business and it wasn't even clear to me if it was open source or not.
It's in our roadmap: https://github.com/DroneDB/DroneDB/issues/12 so stay tuned!

How do you present/host online interactive 3D models for clients?
They mention DroneDB: https://dronedb.app/
-
How do you manage hundreds of still images?
You can try the free online hub on DroneDB: https://dronedb.app It's an open source database for geospatial data and much more.
