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.

Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
Is your PDF reader open sourced? It's a feature I'd like to implement at some point in my own personal project (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind)

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
I just added a few screenshots in the README: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind
As for the Gmail integration, it is quite crude at the moment. I use it mostly to organize incoming emails, but I still use Gmail to send or reply to my emails. Exomind inbox is synchronized with Gmail, so all emails that you remove from one or the other get removed / archived on the other side. It also supports multiple accounts.
If you are interested to try and not afraid of the rough edges, just let me know. I added Discussions to the GitHub repository.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On?
Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment. I plan to eventually add files (blobs), definitions and support extensibility via WASM applications.
Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.)
It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years. If all goes well, I'm a few months away from some kind of tech preview.

How to collaborate on web scraping?
Store the scrape progress (to-be-scraped / in-progress / scraped / in-error URLs) in a database shared by all participants and scrape in parallel with as many machines as the db load permits. Got a connection timeout / IP is blocked on one machine ? Update the scrape status for the corresponding URL and let another machine retry it. https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper (written in typescript) follows this idea. Using Terraform from a simple config file you can adjust the number of scraper instances to be deployed in cloud at startup and during the scraping process. In benchmarks a PostgreSQL server running on a DigitalOcean vm with 4vCPU, 8GB memory allows for ~2000 URLs to be scraped per second (synthetic data, no external traffic). From my own experience this is almost never the bottleneck. Obeying robots.txt crawl-delay will surely put you under this limit. Disclaimer: I'm the npm package author.

How to serve scrapped data?
Written in typescript https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper stores scraped content directly in a database (sqlite, mysql, postgresql). Each URL represents a Resource. You can implement your own IResourceStorage and define the exact db columns you need.

How to scrape entire blogs with content?
You can use https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper with a custom plugin based on the mozilla/readability as detailed in https://getsetfetch.org/node/custom-plugins.html (extracting news article content). I think it's a close match to your use case.

A simple solution to rotate proxies or how to spin up your own rotation proxy server with Puppeteer and only a few lines of JS code
I'm currently implementing concurrency conditions at project/proxy/domain/session level in https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper . On each level you can define the maximum number of requests and the delay between two consecutive requests.

Web scraping content into postgresql? Scheduling web scrapers into a pipeline with airflow?
If you're familiar with nodejs give https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper a try. Scraped content can be stored in sqlite, mysql or postgresql. It also supports puppeteer, playwright, cheerio or jsdom for the actual content extraction. No scheduler though.

Web Scraping 101 with Python
I'm using this exact strategy to scrape content directly from DOM using APIs like document.querySelectorAll. You can use the same code in both headless browser clients like Puppeteer or Playwright and DOM clients like cheerio or jsdom (assuming you have a wrapper over document API). Depending on the way a web page was fetched (opened in a browser tab or fetched via nodejs http/https requests), ExtractHtmlContentPlugin, ExtractUrlsPlugin use different DOM wrappers (native, cheerio, jsdom) to scrape the content.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper - I've been working (intermittently :) ) on a nodejs or browser extension scraper for the last 3 years, see the other projects under the get-set-fetch umbrella. Putting a lot more effort lately as I really want to do those Alexa top 1 million analysis like top js libraries, certificate authorities and so on. A few weeks back I've posted on Show:HN as you can do basic/intermediate? scraping with it.
Not capable of handling 1 mil+ pages as it still limited to puppeteer or playwright. Working on adding cheerio/jsdom support right now.
