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.

Identity management solution for Ethereum: Ideas/Suggestions?
- For completeness and good scientific practice, also look at solutions beyond Ethereum: https://identity.foundation/ion/

Bitcoin is the "narrow waist" of internet-based value
ION decentralized identity (an implementation of the SideTree protocol)
- ION - an open, public, permissionless decentralized identifier network built atop Bitcoin blockchain by Microsoft

Do you believe Bitcoin’s idea of a distributed ledger is useful for databases other than the money database?
Other uses are extremely limited IMO. Microsoft ION, an implementation of decentralised identity w3c spec, for example. It makes a Bitcoin transaction containing a hash that refers to several identities. Since the identities are mutable there does not seem much value in remembering the hash at a point in time.

Codeberg a GitHub Alternative from Europe
I agree the website is very bad, currently. Maybe this page has better resources:
https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/ssi-standards
But there's quite a lot going on... the work on SSI is being coordinated by the W3C Working Group on VCs (Verifiable Credentials) and DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers).
https://www.w3.org/community/credentials/
https://www.w3.org/2019/did-wg/
I don't know of any real-world usage yet, despite the fact that the specifications required for things to work and be used by real people already exist, and that there's a lot of DID methods (over 80 last I checked) registered, but as people have noted, most are based on blockchain (but not all... there's stuff like the peer, git, jwk DID methods that do not require blockchain)... but I have to say that, in this particular instance, blockchains may actually be a proper solution for a real problem (that of looking up public keys and metadata for entities/users in a distributed, highly-reliable manner).
https://www.w3.org/TR/did-spec-registries/#did-methods
If you want to look for related stuff, look for things that users would need to have to use SSI, like DID wallets... Some random examples I found by quickly searching:
https://www.abtwallet.io/en/
https://www.didwallet.io/
https://igrant.io/
https://www.dock.io/dock-wallet-app
https://identity.foundation/ion/
The OpenID Connect Standard is being extended to support self-issued OIDC (SIOP) which allows OIDC to interact with SSI constructs:
https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.h...
So, yeah, there's a lot of stuff being created around SSI, but admitedly, almost nothing practical yet... Hence why I was hoping to find something where this work could be very helpful, like logging into Codeberg :)

How to get started learning web5
I would also recommend checking ION¹. I have tested a few DID Methods including Sovrin, Veres One, and ION, and the latter is the most spec-adherent and well-implemented, apart from receiving funding from companies like Microsoft and TBD (which is proposing web5 in the first place). And yes, it is the only DID Method to receive support from big tech (was incubated within Microsoft, then donated to the Decentralized Identity Foundation), and it also happens to be a technically good solution.

Jack Dorsey's idea of Web5 in relation to Stacks
Doing some more research: Looks like the idea is developed by tbd.website and uses a L2 tool called ION that utilizes the SideTree protocol. Interestingly, ION does not introduce a new token which I find interesting, and one of the things I've found confusing about Stacks.
- Anyone have any updates on the Microsoft Ion Digital ID layer on Bitcoin?

Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
https://vertx.io/
It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features?

Reactive database access on the JVM
Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted

Looking for a coroutine-based message broker implementation for inter-app communication.
Have you looked at Vert.x?

What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
Explicitly so:

Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.

Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.
