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.

I also found that `useState` pattern from React with the variant library a handy pattern: https://github.com/yglukhov/variant and it’s pretty simple to do if you already have a context object: https://github.com/elcritch/fidgetty/blob/f65876af34797f308b...
Sorry for the link spamming, I just find the overlap of UI state management without OO interesting!

7GUIs
Excellent list of UI challenges. I’ve been working through a similar list of my own to see if I can make a widget library I’m building in Nim do this [1]. Building on an event-driven immediate mode GUI has been fun.
Now I’m totally going to run off this list. I've only got circles and cells left before I can do all of these challenges.

Racket: The Lisp for the Modern Day
Looks like you're already in Emacs. I strongly recommend racket-mode as mentioned in another thread.
With regard to prototyping GUI's I'd suggest taking a look at https://github.com/mfelleisen/7GUI. https://github.com/Bogdanp/racket-gui-easy could also be a good place to start.
With regard to Racket more generally, I'm probably not the best person to ask since I had a very high friction start where I just banged my head against the wall until things made sense.

Humble Chronicles: Managing State with Signals
I took a similar approach in my Racket library, gui-easy[1,2]. Though I opted to not defer any computations, any observable (similar to a signal from the post) update propagates to observers immediately, and there's no incrementality -- observables are just boxes whose changes you can subscribe to. Regarding the disposal problem, I used weak references and regarding the where to take observables and where to take concrete values as input question, I decided that any place an observable can go in, a concrete value can as well and it's been a convenient choice so far. For fun, here's an example[3] that builds the todo UI from the post.

If you were hired to create a new distribution of Lisp, what would you include?
For native apps, I would devote coding resources to the Guile-GI project which generates Guile bindings to the cross-platform Gtk C library by way of the Gnome Object Introspection and Reflection library. I would also port the Racket gui-easy library over to Guile-GI so declarative GUIs could be written.
