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.

PicoCalc
Somewhat random, but spreadsheets continued to evolve after VisiCalc (obviously).
Here is one by the inventor of VisiCalc, Dan Bricklin, on github: https://github.com/DanBricklin/socialcalc
Audrey Tang (who happens to currently serve as the Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan)) created the Node.js port of SocialCalc, EtherCalc: https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc
Audrey made a fascinating write up of SocialCalc for The Architecture of Open Source Applications https://aosabook.org/en/v1/socialcalc.html

France stops deploying Office365 and Google Docs in schools: Linux & Open Source news
if you need office stuff ON CLOUD then no idea there are several random ones like https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc (demo on top right the website works fine and is multi-user collab) and there are libreoffice ones that work in cloud too, though using them in browser never really made sense to anything I've seen. I've never been to any office or consulted anywhere that multi-user actually helped anyone.

Looking for project purchase list tracking tool
I think there's several possible solutions: * No-code/low-code database platforms (e.g., NocoDB) * Personal finance manager (e.g., Firefly III) * Spreadsheets (e.g., CryptPad for a full office suite or Ethercalc) * Task management systems (e.g., Vikunja)
- Open source Spreadsheet with external api integration

Selfhosted App to Help Comparing Products/Services
Office solutions (e.g., spreadsheets): CryptPad and EtherCalc
- app so that different users can see, edit a spreadsheet without email address

Selfhosted web spreadsheet
ethercalc: supports editing by multiple clients simultaneously. Pretty easy to setup.
-
Excel sheet sync across devices
Try CryptPad or EtherCalc.

alternative to google sheets
Ethercalc, although a bit dated, works ok on docker https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc
- QUESTION: Where can I upload CSV/XLS(excel) Data for all Apes? Got a zero assumption DD that'll blow your socks off.

WASM: Big Deal or Little Deal?
It is what Makepad is working on in an interesting way using Wasm and Rust. They have created a Figma-like DSL and a good code separation with the logic behind it. You can edit UI's of in-production apps, and they are bundling an editor for that. Accessibility is an issue, and the project are looking to offer proper support there. In their video linked on the README they run the conference slides on Makepad with live apps embedded and running at 120 fps.

Snappy UIs with WebAssembly and Web Workers
> if anyone tells you they need to use WebAssembly to make the UI snappy I'd advise you interrogate that assertion thoroughly.
Get prepared to be blown away by Makepad [0]. I have no affiliation with them, but just watched their most recent conference presentation [1]. The slides were made with Makepad itself and included, embedded, a full-blown IDE, a synthesizer app, a Mandelbrod to zoom in endlessly, and more. All running at 120fps. The presentation is for the most part live-coding with this setup.
What they want to do is bring coders and designers closer together, and while some code is in Rust they developed a DSL for the GUI parts that is close to how Figma works. These GUI's can run anywhere.
And I couldn't help thinking "Why would people have complicated stacks to create Web 2.0 apps for the Google Web, when they have this?", in other words an opportunity to break out of the browser straitjacket.

Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust
For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.

And I'm obsessed with what happens when you press Alt in their editor. I never knew I wanted this, but boy, do I want it.

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
I tried this, using https://makepad.dev our GPU accelerated UI and renderstack. And unfortunately it wasn't a great experience. Text popping forward for whatever reason is not really an improvement (i tried indent depth, syntax highlighting reasons, cursor behavior). Maybe 'veeeeery' subtly could do something, but otherwise you dont want it to break visual symmetry as we are used to

Is the regex crate a bottleneck in your program? If so, can you share the details?
Wow, so they did: https://github.com/makepad/makepad/pull/142

Rust Web Framework Comparison
We can! It’s a lot of work because you don’t have the whole JS ecosystem to fall back on, but to some that’s a feature not a bug.
My favorite example of this is https://makepad.dev

Why Not Rust?
When it comes to compile times, the most optimized Rust codebase I know for optimized for this is makepad.dev [1].
It is compiling from scratch on mac m1 in around 7.5s [2] and that's +100k lines of Rust. However there is close to none dependencies, so this +100k is all there is to compile pretty much.
