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.

[D] Doubts on the implementation of LSTMs for timeseries prediction (like including weather forecasts)
Don't use an LSTM. Get up to date with SoTA methods and read the papers in the field. LSTMs are not the way forward. Read the papers I suggested. It would be very useful to come to grips with both the Time Series Repository (https://github.com/thuml/Time-Series-Library) and Darts (https://github.com/unit8co/darts) as these are widely used for research and in industry.

Facebook Prophet: library for generating forecasts from any time series data
As others have pointed out, Prophet is not a particularly good model for forecasting, and has been superseded by a multitude of other models. If you want to do time series forecasting, I'd recommend using Darts: https://github.com/unit8co/darts. Darts implements a wide range of models and is fairly easy to use.
The problem with time series forecasting in general is that they make a lot of assumptions on the shape of your data, and you'll find you're spending a lot of time figuring out mutating your data. For example, they expect that your data comes at a very regular interval. This is fine if it's, say, the data from a weather station. This doesn't work well in clinical settings (imagine a patient admitted into the ER -- there is a burst of data, followed by no data).
That said, there's some interesting stuff out there that I've been experimenting with that seems to be more tolerant of irregular time series and can be quite useful. If you're interested in exchanging ideas, drop me a line (email in my profile).

[D] Do any of you have experience using Darts for forecasting?
Darts is an open-source Python library by Unit8 for easy handling, pre-processing, and forecasting of time series. It contains an array of models, from standard statistical models such as ARIMA to deep neural networks. https://unit8co.github.io/darts/

A Simple Guide to Feature Engineering in the Forecast Menu
The new Forecast menu, featuring the open-source Darts Time Series library, offers script-friendly functionality. It's also easy to use. Don't have any data to load yet? Enter through the Stocks or Crypto menus.

Ask HN: Data Scientists, what libraries do you use for timeseries forecasting?
I would recommend Darts in Python [1]. It's easy to use (think fit()/predict()) and includes
* Statistical models (ETS, (V)ARIMA(X), etc)
* ML models (sklearn models, LGBM, etc)
* Many recent deep learning models (N-BEATS, TFT, etc)
* Seamlessly works on multi-dimensional series
* Models can be trained on multiple series
* Many models offer rich support for probabilistic forecasts
* Model evaluation is easy: Darts has many metrics, offers backtest etc
* Deep learning scales to large datasets, using GPUs, TPUs, etc
* There's even now an explainability module for some of the models - showing you what matters for computing the forecasts
* (coming soon): an anomaly detection module :)
* (also, it even include FB Prophet if you really want to use it)
Warning: I'm probably biased because I'm Darts creator.

Chronos: Learning the Language of Time Series
I do not have a horse in the race, but it is interesting to see open source comparisons to traditional timeseries strategies: https://github.com/Nixtla/nixtla/tree/main/experiments/amazo...
In general, the M-Competitions (https://forecasters.org/resources/time-series-data/), the olympics of timeseries forecasting, have proven frustrating for ML methods... linear models do shockingly well and the ML models that have won, generally seem to be variants of older tree-based methods (ie. LightGBM is a favorite).
Will be interesting to see whether the Transformer architecture ends up making real progress here.

[P] Beware of false (FB-)Prophets: Introducing the fastest implementation of auto ARIMA [ever].
Yes, for example we have this paper in long-horizon settings using our library NeuralForecast and this experiment with other of our libraries MLForecast, both of them outperforming autoarima.

Automated Time Series Processing and Forecasting
Users can deploy the pipeline in their cloud quickly. We use terraform (https://github.com/Nixtla/nixtla/tree/main/iac/terraform/aws), so it is very simple to deploy the pipeline on AWS. We are working to release versions of terraform on other clouds such as Azure and Google Cloud.
