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'm working on a file manager with tags, it's in early development and I would love your feedback!
For my personal tool-set, I've settled for "everything in the file name" because in my experience, this ensures that no meta-data gets lost when moving paths, on thumb drives with ancient file systems, OS-borders and so forth (https://github.com/novoid/filetags + other tools + https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/ as an overview).

An Alternative to Tabbles [an ALMOST amazing comprehensive file system]
Technically, it makes use of filename-based time-stamps and tags by the "filetags"-method which also includes the rather unique TagTrees feature as one particular retrieval method.
- Best solution for mixed file tagging and storing

Add and Remove filetags in org-roam
What do you mean by filetags? This?

Describe how would the perfect data hoarding/curating software be for you?
I don't know if this is perfect but for me, this method with its tools is working pretty great since a decade or so: Managing Digital Files (e.g., Photographs) in Files and Folders using filetags (all sorts of things related to tags), guess-filename (generates most file names for me), guess-target-folder and move2archive (moving files to their destination) + some more tools I wrote.

filetags and companions

Question about workflow, org-id-get-create, and org-store-link.
filetags and its companion tools is a direct result of my PhD projects with tagstore. For the basic concept of filetags, I worked with file tagging methods for at least six years.

I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old
I've always thought that personal files, photos, or any other kind of just needed more connections between them to improve my information retrieval experience. That's how I had become a Zettelkasten evangelist. I believed it would be the cure for the information overload disease of our era.
But life made me use Emacs org-mode more and more, and I'm now in love with tags. Retrieving information has become so easy, especially with org-mode's tags inheritance, that I hardly think making connections between headings or notes is necessary anymore[1]. And I believe that applying tags to filenames (a la Karl Voit [2]) will create the same effect
[1] A Zettelkasten-like system is still unbeatable imo when it comes to ideas repositories, i.e. a second brain you can talk to and get new insights. It's just not that great for personal knowledge management or project management.

Tips on organizing files that need to live in multiple locations
Technically, it makes use of filename-based time-stamps and tags by the "filetags"-method which also includes the rather unique TagTrees feature as one particular retrieval method.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
For example, I don't know what "vertico, consult, embark, marginalia, and orderless" is exactly, they're not part of my setup and I guess I don't want them to interfere with it.

A less verbose OR more organized modeline
You can find further optimizations on https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org when searching for "mode-line".

org-agenda - can you log item creation events?
You're looking for org-expiry and its (org-expiry-insinuate) as you can see in my config: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

My emacs config, with README.org index generated from init.el
You don't have to repeat yourself; it is more about how you write. Literate programming lets you mix different languages as well as text and the code. Check for example Karl Voits. The only remark I can make is that some defvars don't need the comments, since they are written as self-documenting code. For example, 'large-file-warning-threshold' certainly does not need a comment which basically repeats what the name says, but that is not so unusual to see even amongst programmers sometimes.

Too many keybindings
For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org
-
"Non-ASCII string must be encoded in advance" when tying to mark a region with non ASCII character(s)
The same configuration using Emacs 27.1 also does not have this weird behavior.

Does anybody have issues with AutoKey (GNU/Linux) with GNU/Emacs?
Maybe somebody has an idea what I might change in my large setup in order to get rid of this issue ...

Manage mentions of people with org-mode
For linking to contacts, I started to use a custom link contact: which I don't use any more since I've found org-super-links which enables me to link to any heading quite fine including contacts.

orgmode and everything else
My personal notes on any task or project are way more verbose than the information curated in shared business environments. I therefore invest work and keep a local Orgdown structure and sync a subset of information manually. I define custom links to Jira, emails, and all other external sources to keep links from my Orgdown files to everything else. This way, my only truth is within my personal knowledge management which simplifies search.

Does Org-mode discourage subfolders in org-directory?
My personal approach is a static list of Orgdown files within a single directory (with very few exceptions) and a manually curated list of agenda files.
What are some alternatives?
