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.

Show HN: Lapdev, a new open-source remote dev environment management software
Hi, Lapdev dev here. Let me try to answer your question.
It's installed on a remote server so it provides remote environments. If you use VSCode remote, then you can "open" it through VSCode remote ssh.
The environment that Lapdev provides essentially is a container (other format is on the roadmap) with things pre-installed as defined in Devcontainer(https://containers.dev/) format.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Happy to take this one, as I am one of the cofounder of Daytona.
Daytona solves all the automation and provisioning of the dev environment, actually wrote an article here laying out exactly what we do: https://www.daytona.io/dotfiles/diy-guide-to-transform-any-m...
Daytona currently supports only the dev container (https://containers.dev/) "dev env infrastructure as code" standard, but are looking to support others such as devfile, nix and flox.
Hope this helps

A Journey to Find an Ultimate Development Environment
The full usage of the container means that you'll do the development inside the container. All the tools for development need to be installed inside the container. One of the technologies that leverage this approach is Devcontainers.

How CDEs work - no bs blog post
Two standards for CDE configuration exist: devfile.yml and devcontainer.json. Both assume that the CDE is a single container and allow specification of which tools should be deployed to this container, as well as a reference to scripts that should run after the container has been created.
- Use Docker to create a local development Python environment

Launching dev containers from code - is impossible?

Dev Containers: Open, Develop, Repeat...
How it works? Dev Containers is a specification based on Docker. This specification describes a metadata file (devcontainer.json), which defines how the project (Docker container, IDE settings, plugins, etc) is set up.

Try MongoDB and Laravel in 1-click via GitHub Codespaces
Codespaces is built to run Dev Containers, an open standard for Development Containers. The Dev Container will reference a Docker build file, which describes the software and services our app is running on. It also defines things related to our development environment, including IDE plugins, network ports, and more.

Is there some catch to cause DNS issues on Linux, that is not common with Windows or Mac?
I was using Devcontainer with VS Code. In a part of the container build process, DNS lookup seemed to be failing in Debian 12. BTW, the container image was based on Debian 11. I probably tried it about 10 times in total, so I'm pretty sure it persisted, not an one time error. I noticed the build process was failing because the process failed to find some domains, with an error message like could not resolve host github.com. Some domains I noticed was github.com and ghcr.io, so it failed sometimes for one domain, and sometimes for the other.

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I'm really enjoying reading through the docs and the tutorial. We've created Lowdefy, a config web-stack which makes it really simple to build quite advanced web apps. We're writing everything in YAML, but it has it's limitations, specifically when doing config type checking and IDE extensions that go beyond just YAML.
I've been looking for a way to have typed objects in the config to do config suggestions and type checking.. PKL looks like it can do this for us. And with the JSON output we might even be able to get there with minimal effort.
Is there anyone here with some PKL experience that would be willing to answer some technical questions re the use of PKL for more advanced, nested config?

Show HN: Retool AI
Awsome! With Lowdefy we tried to build a low-code framework that works like code. We’ve developed a schema in which to define applications and we’ve built all kinds of apps for enterprise customers. Massive, advanced CRM systems, call centre solutions, ticketing systems, a light MRP, all kinds of survey apps and so many dashboards. Even our docs and our website are Lowdefy apps!
Give Lowdefy a try and reach out it you have any questions or want to see what is possible :) (We need to invest a lot more into content and examples, bootstapping is a grind!)

The Surprising Power of Documentation
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.
We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.
This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.

I’m also going to jump in here and say try Lowdefy https://github.com/lowdefy/lowdefy - co-founder here.
We take a different angle and believe that low code should still work like code. We focus on a developer first approach.
