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.

Running a funny experiment with my free web-analytics
Two years back, I created a little web analytics tool for my side projects and I called Faenz. It's open source and self-hostable, available on GitHub at https://github.com/a-chris/faenz.
I've recently given it an update and came up with the idea of creating a demo version that's accessible to everyone.
How does it work?
You can add your own website, blog or e-commerce site and keep track of the visits it receives. Your website stats will be visible to others, and you'll get to check out everyone else's stats too. You won't be allowed to edit/delete a website, you should reach out to me for that.
I find it to be a fun experiment to see how people handle SEO or just to discover some cool new websites :)
The demo is available here https://faenz.acmecorp.dev/

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
I've built several personal projects to be honest; background jobs, tasks automation, telegram bots to find a house to rent or buy, most of them are kept provate.
The two I'm most proud of are a web analytics that, coincidentally, I've made public today after a few weeks of work:
https://github.com/a-chris/faenz
I developed it for collect data for my personal website and it is working well so far, really happy of it.
The other one is a Google Chrome extension to manage bookmark because I think the default one is a mess and very unpratical to use. I haven't worked on it for a while:

Ask HN: Did you change your software architecture due to monetary constraints?
At the start up I work at [0], we use an open source library I developed to run hydraulic models of water networks in JavaScript [1].
A hydraulic model may be between 1-10MB and the simulation results can end up being 100+MB of time series data.
Other vendors with proprietary engines have to scale up servers to run their simulation engineers and will store and serve up results from a database.
Having everything done locally means we only have to store a static file and offload the simulation to the client.
Because we've architected it this way our hosting costs are low and users generally have faster access to results (assuming they're running a moderately decent machine)

Ask HN: How did you find your current job?
I'm a civil engineer and I wrote an open source library that compiled a C library to javascript for my own personal projects - epanet-js [1]
A water utility in Spain spun off a start up called Qatium [2] and they used my library as the engine of their simulations and asked me to join.

Ask HN: Which personal projects got you hired?
I created a handful of application around water engineering/modelling [1], plus an open source library to run the simulations in javascript [2].
A water utility in Spain spun off a start up to create a similar web based water modelling application and they used my open source library.
They approached me and I joined them and have been able to maintain the open source library as part of my role.

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
I work as a water engineer, specializing in building hydraulic models so water utilities can simulate their network.
A big part of that is calibrating them which can be time consuming, you look through hundreds of options. I create a few web based apps to help grind through these tasks but ultimately they were for my own use as a consultant to close projects quickly.
I did pull out the engine as its own open source library for other to use, and that ended up helping me get my current role where I can now maintain it and be paid at the same time.

Ask HN: What is your current side-project?
https://github.com/modelcreate/epanet-js
I've built a few open source apps and few other little projects to help automate my workflow.
There are only a handful of providers of modelling software, most are commercial and one recently sold to Autodesk for $1B.
Not sure I'll convince the industry to change but I'm enjoying tinkering around and making my own small difference.
