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.

PicoGK is a compact and robust geometry kernel for Computational Engineering
Small in a relative sense compared to some larger codebase.
Here's a bit on Manifold:
https://github.com/elalish/manifold/wiki/Manifold-Library
and the author's blog is interesting:

C++: The Most Important Complexities
Our project https://github.com/elalish/manifold made use of this to speed up mesh processing algorithms a lot.

Text-to-CAD: Risks and Opportunities
Wondering why no BRep support means it is not a CAD. It seems that OpenVSP doesn't use BRep but uses parametric surface [1]. I wonder if mesh-based modeling + some constraints solving will get you a CAD, or are there other requirements that I don't know? I only work on mesh processing library on my free-time and I don't know much about BRep.

My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards ⌨
Unhealthy relationship with keyboards? Comparing with the r/MechanicalKeyboards or r/ErgoMechKeyboards people this relationship is more like divorced...
I added python binding and ended up being on of the devs for https://github.com/elalish/manifold because OpenSCAD is too slow for my modeling (I am quite impatient). Optimizing my keyboard for months with more than 5 complete rebuilds to optimize my design (looks like this: https://i.redd.it/xtf0f54mt7ya1.jpg), and is afraid of open sourcing it because my code looks too bad :(

OpenSCAD's Web Playground got upgraded (still Alpha)
Now much faster and more stable thanks to the Manifold engine (https://github.com/elalish/manifold): in fact it is often faster than the last stable desktop release from https://openscad.org/.
Also much better code completion, and ships with a few examples from the various bundled libraries to get you started.

When I place down a CSGPolygon3D in this shape (haven't tried other shapes) it always opens a portal to hell, and it's not just in the editor, it's in the game too. Does anyone know what I can do about this?
At the end, they gonna replace it with ( elalish manifold.

Question About Runtime Mesh Editing
You can find a few algorithms online (such as csg.js and libfive), but most of them are either not robust or fast enough for real-time graphics.

Show HN: Make 3D art in your browser using Lisp and math
No; Bauble doesn't know how to "rasterize" SDFs into meshes; it only knows how to raymarch them. It's theoretically possible, but it's a pretty complex problem that would take me much too long to figure out and implement. So Bauble is relegated to just making pretty pictures for now. If you want to produce meshes using SDFs, check out https://libfive.com/

Antimony – computer-aided design tool from the Lisp machine parallel universe
This is a mid-point in Matt Keeter's research.
Start at:
http://mattkeeter.com/research/thesis.pdf
then see:
http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/kokopelli/
then Antimony (see the article at: http://hackaday.com/2015/05/29/otherworldy-cad-software-hail... ), then the current effort:
https://github.com/libfive/libfive
(and also see: https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/tovero "a binding of Libfive to Common Lisp, including a standalone REPL-based viewer"[https://github.com/Irev-Dev/curated-code-cad] can be integrated with https://www.gitlab.com/kavalogic-inc/clive
Currently I'm using OpenSCAD (w/ BlockSCAD as a front-end: https://www.blockscad3d.com because I prefer a sort of visual representation), but have been stymied by the lack of file I/O (I want to write out G-code).
Still looking for a 3D modeling tool which is:
- a node or block editor
- Learning CAD on Linux
- OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
- CadQuery –- A Python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
What are some alternatives?
gcodepreview - OpenSCAD library for moving a tool in lines and arcs so as to model how a part would be cut using G-Code.
jupyter-cadquery - An extension to render cadquery objects in JupyterLab via pythreejs
openscad - OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller
curv - a language for making art using mathematics
pyscad - Python bindings for OpenSCAD
libredwg - Official mirror of libredwg. With CI hooks and nightly releases. PR's ok
jsketcher - Parametric 2D and 3D modeler written in pure javascript
fosscad-repo - Official FOSSCAD Library Repository
