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.

Show HN: Quietone – search audio and video by transcript
Hey. This is my first electron app. It is called Quietone and I just thought it would be cool to navigate and manipulate videos by their transcript because searching through videos for the things I was looking for was very slow otherwise.
I used whisper.cpp to do the transcribing. It has held up really well. The tiny model (the fastest one) can transcribe 2 hours of video in a couple of minutes on my m2 mac mini and the accurate of even the tiny model is pretty good.
I used Electron Forge to package the app for different operating systems and distribution channels. There are no guides on the internet on how to do that properly so that took quite a bit of time to figure out.
At multiple stages I had to look through source code of Electron Forge's dependencies to figure out how I was supposed to use it to correctly sign the app for the mac app store.
I made this app using the tools I like to use, which is not very typical. I use straight javascript, no transpiling, and I wrote every single library myself from the ORM https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/flyweight to the front-end framework, which is a thin wrapper over web components.
Oh yeah, Electron recently started supporting esm, but Electron Forge doesn't fully support it so I had to use esbuild to compile to cjs just for the packaging step.
I use events to make everything change in real-time in the UI. Umm... oh yeah I did include yt-dlp features but had to remove that for the store versions.
It is available on the mac store, and soon on the windows store. There is also a trial you can download. The windows store experience is not very polished compared to the mac store. I was amazed that there are humans reviewers looking through everything I upload. hah.
Anyway, I have to go find a job now and hope my username doesn't check out. Bye. Thanks for reading my blog.

Is TypeScript actually worth It?
I wrote https://github.com/thebinarysearchtree/flyweight in JavaScript, not TypeScript. It generates TypeScript declaration files as it types SQL, which helps with intellisense support in VSCode. That is the only reason I use TypeScript.
I don't like TypeScript though, and would never write anything in it. I have a long history with C# and I came to conclusions about this topic a long time ago. I just prefer writing JavaScript, it is more fun and more productive.
Flyweight is quite a complex library. It parses arbitrarily complex SQL. This is more complex than most of the things people work on and claim they need static typing. It isn't millions of lines of code, but often those codebases aren't complex, they are just many independent components that in themselves are not that complex.
The amount of time I spend having to update the TypeScript aspect of my library is really quite annoying. Also, with regards to your point about libraries not including type information - this is also true for the actual native APIs in the browser and so on as well. For example, TypeScript doesn't recognise the "indices" property of regular expression matches.

How practicle is it to have a textfile based database with an SQLite API?
If I were charged with this task I'd probably take an actual SQLite DB and write methods to parse data from text files, then process it within SQLite, and serialize it back to the text file when an API method is called or after each processing step. A fresh DB engine, fully re-implemented to match SQLite's API is insane unless you're a prodigy or have a sizable team and will come with numerous downsides. I can recommend https://github.com/WiseLibs/better-sqlite3 and https://github.com/loveencounterflow/dbay

Show HN: Doculite – Use SQLite Like Firestore
better-sqlite3 is orders of magnitude faster than the async SQLite bindings. We found this to be true when testing SQLite options for Notion's desktop app anyways.

Drizzle ORM, SQLite and Nuxt JS - Getting Started
Better SQLite is a wrapper around the SQLite database engine that provides a number of improvements over the standard SQLite API. One of those benefits is type safety, Better SQLite uses TypeScript to provide type safety for queries, which can help to prevent errors.

SvelteKit 1.0 with SQLite Tutorial (Self Promotion)
I used better-sqlite3 . It is simple to use as it is synchronous. I don't know if it scales good (at least the docs say it) but works great for my small use cases.

I Migrated from a Postgres Cluster to Distributed SQLite with LiteFS
Kent's recommended NodeJS module, `better-sqlite3`, has some very nifty features including the creation of JavaScript user-defined functions[0] that (if I understand this right) can be called from SQLite. Combined with TRIGGERs, I wonder if it might fire a function within the app when an UPDATE/INSERT happens from a different process? (This is me wondering out loud, I don't actually know.)
I also recommend checking out Replicache[1] and alternatives, which may be a better way to handle the networking and database replication so that it doesn't rely on the underlying DB.
