The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

TypeScript is terrible for library developers
I'm very curious, which "Redux code" are you referring to here?
I don't think the `redux` core lib ever shipped any Flow types itself. Looking at the FlowTyped repo, I see community typedefs at https://github.com/flow-typed/flow-typed/tree/master/definit... , and the Git history suggests those were indeed written by community members.
(of course on the flip side, _I_ didn't even start learning TS myself until 2019, and goodness knows _that_ has been a lot of trial and error over time :) )

Is Flow moving away from (or toward) broader community relevance?
As for configurability of whether casts should error, in my experience with flow it's paradoxically riskier to rely on a type nag when refactoring an unknown "offending" type casts. I've ran into cases where upgrading flow raised a cast issue, it got "fixed" it in a way that made the type system happy, but inadvertently broke tests because falsy values are tricky like that. Here's an example where a type nag showed up for someone refactoring, they did what they thought was reasonable to silence it, and proceeded to accidentally break the entire tool (slipping through tests and code review, to boot). This happened in the flow-typed tool of all places.

Creating a modern JS library: TypeScript and Flow
The process of supporting Flow users is extremely similar to that of TypeScript. Instead of adding the definition file to "types" in package.json, make a .js.flow file alongside every .js file that is being exported (for example, if you export lib/index.js, make sure to create lib/index.js.flow with the definitions). See the docs on how to create such a definition. If you want to support Flow yourself, don't publish to flow-typed; it's mainly meant for community members to create their own types for third-party packages and publish them there.

I need urgent help building and publishing a package using TSDX?
Try dts-cli. It’s a fork of tsdx that is still active.

Creating a React Component Library
Try this instead https://github.com/weiran-zsd/dts-cli is up to date version of tsdx that's designed for publish react libraries, or use Vite with library mode as an alternative, or Parcel has a library mode to do the same

Exporting a component library based on CRA - babel or typescript to create the bundle?
Be aware of this discussion. It appears that this library is not maintained actively. I migrated few of my libraries to dts-cli (it is a fork of tsdx)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing flow-typed and dts-cli you can also consider the following projects:
flowgen - Generate flowtype definition files from TypeScript
tsdx - Zero-config CLI for TypeScript package development
