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.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
The other alternative is to go a level lower and use something like fontdue and then roll my own font rendering pipe, but that seems overkill for what seems like a simple problem.

Rust, Wright's Law, and the Future of Low-Latency Systems
I agree that no_std is incredible. I really want to see more crates embrace it and encapsulate their no_std logic away from their standard logic. I very often see crates that are like 95% of the way to no_std but then choose to bundle some standard only features without flagging them.
I wrote fontdue [0] (which is very incomplete spec wise) because there just wasn't another font library that was no_std at that time. It felt like the existing libraries were in an arms race for gpu caches and bundling file loading. Like if I wanted to commit to a running on a platform I'd do the sane thing and use harfbuzz or the platform APIs.

Show HN: High-speed UTF-8 validation in Rust
I work on a SIMD optimized font library [0] and have stumbled into the same situation of hand writing SIMD intrinsics. Some things are just kinda hard to make sure they get optimized correctly, and there is enough difference between the platforms where that matters when fiddling with bits. I also kinda have fun writing SIMD code like this too.

The `rusttype` crate is looking for a new maintainer
The other library that does a similar thing to ab_glyph/rusttype I remember hearing about is fontdue (https://github.com/mooman219/fontdue)

Persistent Democracy: a better way to govern foundations and open source projects?
After listening to the Oxide and Friends episode about the Rust trademark dustup I thought some people in the Rust community might be interested in a concept I've been working on for a while called Persistent Democracy.

Apple and NeXT, 25 Years Ago this week
For anyone interested in the history of NeXT, I highly recommend Randall Stross's "Steve Jobs and the NeXT Big Thing."[0] (And I regret that I may have personally had some role in the current outsized prices of used copies -- my apologies!) We also had a really interesting Twitter Spaces discussion of both the book -- and on NeXT more generally.[1]
