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.

How to draw beautiful software architecture diagrams
Graphviz is the classic option but unfortunately it isn't very good. I mean it was great when it was written in the 80s or whatever but then it seems like it was declared "done" and is still stuck in the 80s.
Quite annoying because it totally dominates the mindshare of graph layout tools, making it difficult to find alternatives.
Here's some other options anyway:
* Eclipse Layout Kernel: https://github.com/eclipse/elk
* OGDF: https://ogdf.uos.de/
In fairness both their websites are pretty terrible (would some examples kill you OGDF?) and they don't provide an easy way to try them out, so I guess it's not that surprising that Graphviz dominates.
Anyway in practice if you have a complex graph then doing it manually is by far the best option.
If it's too big to do manually then it's unlikely to be a useful graph in the first place.

Show HN: Databasediagram.com – Private, Text to Entity-Relationship Diagram Tool
The issue I have with a lot of these tools is they work fine when depicting relationships between tables in the same schema (talking mainly about PostgreSQL databases), but few support showing relationships between tables across different schemas.
Also, when the number of tables grows large, few have layouts arranged in an optimal way. I use D2 (https://d2lang.com/) to create ERDs. However, of the free layout engines available in D2, Dagre (https://github.com/dagrejs/dagre) and ELK (https://github.com/eclipse/elk) both don't have optimal placement of layouts for a sufficiently complicated database.

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!
Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

Ascii to svg tool svgbob v0.7.0 is just released with support for drawing arcs in quarter interval
Online playground svgbob-editor is also updated to use the latest version of svgbob. It is however a painfully slow to edit the diagrams from there, so it's better if you draw the diagram somwhere else and paste it to there.

Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid | The GitHub Blog
There’s Svgbob. Plus when it comes to more complex diagrams or graphs where creating the ASCII art by hand in can be quite finicky, there’s a number of tools (including drawing tools) to make creating ASCII art much easier.
