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.

Looking for help in GPL project
The point is not about ideological debates, making money from GPL software is purely a practical business decision. Many people are doing it, see e.g. https://reacher.email/ (written in Rust btw).

Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?
I started with open-source.
I initially created https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists, after some years it got to ~50 stars and nice overall feedback, that's when I thought of a SaaS wrapper on top of it.
So a possible path is "idea -> open-source -> monetize". I find the first arrow to be easier to execute than a direct idea to monetization leap.

I’m curious what everyone uses for data validation and hygiene.
We forked (this repository)[https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists] and made a few modifications.

Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I run an open-source [1] email verification API, called Reacher. I managed to hit 10k ARR this year (1st year).
It's written in Rust, self-hostable, and does not use a DB of emails (like some competitors do).
Landing page: https://reacher.email.

Check If Email Exist
GitHub issues like this one warm my heart:
https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/issues/91
Identifying something that needs doing, especially when you have no idea how to do it, is a bold skill.
Too often have I seen engineers be reluctant to open an issue because they don’t know how to implement it, technically. I still do it, myself. If you need it then you’ll find a way.
The converse is also true: losing focus by filing tasks and procrastinating on features because you know how to build them, not because you actually need them to move your business / project forward.
