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.

Feedback about fresh open source project
If you're happy to bring in another library, you could replace your Date VO class with the LocalDate class from the brick/datetime library. It does the same thing, just has three int fields inside instead of a string in Y-m-d format.

Which native PHP features do you regret not knowing about/adapting earlier?
If you need to store subsets of a date-time-timezone combination, then take a look at brick/date-time instead.

Symfony is creating a component Clock to decouples applications from the system clock
Slightly related but https://github.com/brick/date-time is a wonderful library to manage datetime concepts in a proper way.
-
civil-date-time: a civil date/time library for PHP
Looks like a CivilDate is the same thing that brick/date-time calls a LocalDateTime. Does this library have any advantages over the one from Brick?

Do you use a DateTime wrapper?
I like https://github.com/brick/date-time

Stopping time with PHP
It is a good practice to use an interface to manage the clock in an application, as it allows having full control of time. For example, it eases testing, as it lets us define the concrete time for each test. Frank de Jonge and Matthias Noback have blog posts about it, brick has an implementation, and there is even a PSR proposal to have a ClockInterface.

Oh boy here we go again…
There are workarounds with some third party libraries, but yeah, it's a pain.
- Which inconsistences of PHP annoy you the most?

Any ideas about why json_encode would return empty for a request on local dev, but not empty on server?
- try not to use the built-in json_encode, as it doesnt have proper error handling. Use instead this: https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe and Safe\json_encode()

Native defer & errdefer
Not what you asked for, in modern codebases it's advised to use things like https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe
-
Use namespaced functions to replace native functions - github.com/rezen/proxyz
The goal of https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe is different than proxyz. My goal is a method proxy that allows you to override or watch the behaviour of a function from the "global namespace" effortlessly.

preg_last_error() and json_last_error()
Safe-PHP redeclares all core PHP functions (in a new namespace) to throw exceptions properly. I use this on almost every project now.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing date-time and Safe you can also consider the following projects:
