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.

(Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
I would say a toy (or personal-use-only) password manager is a relatively simple project. If we are to forget about the GUI parts, you need to determine serialization of your password database (bincode + serde should be enough) and how to encrypt it. For the latter you need only two algorithms: a password hash for deriving encryption key from password and optional salt (the latter is usually randomly generated and stored as a "key file"), and an AEAD algorithm for encrypting and decrypting serialized database. There are certain pitfalls with encryption (e.g. you should not reuse nonce with the same key, especially with modes like GCM) and with properly erasing sensitive data from memory, as well as preventing it from leaking to things like swap, but learning about those is part of the learning experience.

Announcing street-cred 0.1.1 - My first Rust crate
FYI: the rust-crypto crate is unmaintained. Take a look at https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs instead

Dexios - a secure command-line encryption tool.
Dexios is a secure command-line encryption tool, that uses audited crates provided by the RustCrypto Team.

SafeCloset, a Secret Safe - Why and how I made it in Rust
I choose an AEDS crate from the RustCrypto group: AES-GCM in its SIV variant (the SIV variant isn't really needed but it doesn't cost much).

Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
Use RustCrypto's aes with one of its block modes (https://docs.rs/block-modes/latest/block_modes/) or AEAD algorithms (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs). There's a lot of modular stuff in RustCrypto, just need to browse a little 😉.

What encryption crates do you guys recommend, especially one with support for streams
I'd recommend https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs. RustCrypto's crates are high quality, widely used and some have even been audited. Unfortunately they don't provide a read/write interface.
