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.

Hosting SQLite databases on GitHub Pages (or any static file hoster)
I wrote a similar thing in Rust for a Factorio mod manager - mods are hosted on the remote HTTP server as ZIP files and the mod manager needs a single info.json file from the ZIP for the mod metadata, so it avoids downloading the whole mod and then unpacking it by building a file abstraction that uses HTTP range queries to download chunks. For ZIP files the directory is stored at the end at an unknown offset, so the read pattern is to gradually seek backwards from the end until you find the start of the directory, then find the file entry, then read the file.
I didn't fiddle with the window sizes like the TFA, but I did optimize it so that reading chunk N+1 of the file reused the response readed of chunk N rather than making a new request. Furthermore I keep an LRU cache of the last three chunks rather than keep all of them in memory, because the ZIP files are each only read once.

LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:
1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.
2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Ask HN: What two software products should have a kid?
Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.
I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.
Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.
E.g. Just some....
- pocketable.io & datasette (+with some more charting) [https://pocketbase.io, https://datasette.io]

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/
I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.
