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.

It is time to power off my tiny RPi zero Xmas tree, sharing the moment with you guys
You can get much better performance by coding a library from scratch I suppose. I heard pigpio in NodeJS would allow that but I never tried myself.

WebAssembly+WebUSB port of the SANE scanner library
Browser ports can't integrate at OS level, they're intentionally separated today, but given that e.g. Node.js has WebUSB support (https://github.com/node-usb/node-usb), I guess you could make a layer that exposes such Wasm drivers as native to the OS. Could be a fun experiment.

Using usb-detection with electron v4 on intel mac
I'd recommend https://github.com/node-usb/node-usb instead of usb-detection, it has hot plug events available and is better maintained. It uses NAPI for its addons so they don't need to be rebuilt per Electron version, and more helpfully, you can run tests in NodeJS and then bundle it for Electron and you don't need to rebuild the module between each.

Trying to get access to the USB device in Electron app
We use node-usb for USB hotplug detection, and rerun the serial poll, diffing the output with the ID information from node-usb to produce reliable device hinting.

Usb devices on Go
I want to work with usb devices in Go, On linux i just have to install libsub, But on windows i have to install a lot of building tools, some times it doesn't work properly! I just want to install WinUSB drivers like https://github.com/node-usb/node-usb did! (it's a corossplatform usb support on javascript node)
