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.

A new GUI IDE (although author claims it to be editor) is in making which supports a lot of features out of the box. Show it some love !
No idea about your 1st q. But source is I guess at https://github.com/SpartanJ/eepp/tree/develop/src/tools/ecode

Lapce - A modern open source code editor in Rust
I currently support about 30-40% of the spec, but the important part is putting that to work nicely in your editor. I think that Lapce is supporting even less than that and their implementation is not very nice at the moment (they spawn every LSP server for each language at the start of the application, and, if you install many LSPs it's gonna eat a stupid amount of resources for no reason). If you're looking for a good implementation of the spec that it's similar to what you might need, take a look at the Kate implementation, they have done a great job (not only with the LSP!), and they cover a good chunk of the spec. And of course, you can take a look at my implementation, it does not depend on Qt and might be more readable in consequence.

GPU-Backed User Interfaces
Having said that, I'm working on an alternative GPU accelerated and retained-mode GUI called eepp (https://github.com/SpartanJ/eepp/) while I work on a new code editor similar to Zed called ecode (https://github.com/SpartanJ/ecode). The framework still needs a lot of work but presents some ideas that might be interesting to some. Retained-mode GUIs are a complex beast and it's hard to achieve simplicity (I think immediate-mode GUIs can't be beaten in that regard, but they have their own downsides). So I invite anyone interested in GPU accelerated GUIs to take a look at my projects (online demos are available), I'm looking for collaborators! (sadly C++ isn't very appealing these days, but my code-base is huge and I can't write everything from scratch in a new fancy and cool language).

Black Triangles
It's fun to see the evolution in e.g. these examples of image loading for Dear Imgui:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Image-Loading-and-Disp...
DirectX9 will even load the image for you, DirectX11 okay we get a few more structures to fill out, DirectX12 is where it goes off the rails and we are filling out a bunch of UNKNOWN DONT_CARE JUST_DO_IT. Then of course Vulkan is the one that gets the big fat "this probably won't actually work for you" warning.
I understand whats happening, but you know sometimes I just want to display a fucking image.

Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface with minimal dependencies
ImGui is engine/GPU agnostic
Themeing isn't a just a retained mode thing, you can do wonders with immediate UIs, even thought (dear)ImGui doesn't provide much, you can still do wonders: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/707#issuecomment-362...

Where do I start to learn C++ for a game development
Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
Aside from bugs and driver issues, Wayland has some unfortunate design limitations. For example, Dear ImGui multi-viewports don't work because "Wayland doesn't let application read or write windows positions."
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Multi-Viewports
This is a feature available on Windows, macOS, and of course X11. Making choices like this means desktop Linux becomes even more of a weird island that nobody wants to support.
What are some alternatives?
