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.

Ask HN: Data Scientists, what libraries do you use for timeseries forecasting?
As a few other people have mentioned, I find R to be the easiest tool for this job, specifically the forecast package [0]. I had to use this package for an applied econometrics course in college a few years ago, and I have been using it ever since. I find the syntax to be more straightforward than comparable libraries in Python. I also assume that this library (and other libraries in R) offer higher quality models and results than their counterparts in Python, but this is just an assumption.

[D] Doubts on the implementation of LSTMs for timeseries prediction (like including weather forecasts)
Don't use an LSTM. Get up to date with SoTA methods and read the papers in the field. LSTMs are not the way forward. Read the papers I suggested. It would be very useful to come to grips with both the Time Series Repository (https://github.com/thuml/Time-Series-Library) and Darts (https://github.com/unit8co/darts) as these are widely used for research and in industry.

Facebook Prophet: library for generating forecasts from any time series data
As others have pointed out, Prophet is not a particularly good model for forecasting, and has been superseded by a multitude of other models. If you want to do time series forecasting, I'd recommend using Darts: https://github.com/unit8co/darts. Darts implements a wide range of models and is fairly easy to use.
The problem with time series forecasting in general is that they make a lot of assumptions on the shape of your data, and you'll find you're spending a lot of time figuring out mutating your data. For example, they expect that your data comes at a very regular interval. This is fine if it's, say, the data from a weather station. This doesn't work well in clinical settings (imagine a patient admitted into the ER -- there is a burst of data, followed by no data).
That said, there's some interesting stuff out there that I've been experimenting with that seems to be more tolerant of irregular time series and can be quite useful. If you're interested in exchanging ideas, drop me a line (email in my profile).

[D] Do any of you have experience using Darts for forecasting?
Darts is an open-source Python library by Unit8 for easy handling, pre-processing, and forecasting of time series. It contains an array of models, from standard statistical models such as ARIMA to deep neural networks. https://unit8co.github.io/darts/

Ask HN: Data Scientists, what libraries do you use for timeseries forecasting?
I would recommend Darts in Python [1]. It's easy to use (think fit()/predict()) and includes
* Statistical models (ETS, (V)ARIMA(X), etc)
* ML models (sklearn models, LGBM, etc)
* Many recent deep learning models (N-BEATS, TFT, etc)
* Seamlessly works on multi-dimensional series
* Models can be trained on multiple series
* Many models offer rich support for probabilistic forecasts
* Model evaluation is easy: Darts has many metrics, offers backtest etc
* Deep learning scales to large datasets, using GPUs, TPUs, etc
* There's even now an explainability module for some of the models - showing you what matters for computing the forecasts
* (coming soon): an anomaly detection module :)
* (also, it even include FB Prophet if you really want to use it)
Warning: I'm probably biased because I'm Darts creator.
