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.

You might not need a CRDT
We have used Automerge a bunch, but found that there is a threshold where beyond a given document size, performance gets exponentially worse, until even trivial updates take many seconds' worth of CPU. That is often how it works when the document end state is exclusively the sum of all the edits that have ever happened.
Our answer was to reimplement the Automerge API with different mechanics underneath that allows for a "snapshots + recent changes" paradigm, instead of "the doc is the sum of all changes". That way performance doesn't have to degrade over time as changes accumulate.

You might not need a CRDT (Conflict-free Replicated Data Type)
The relevance here is that this post mentions their new Rust library Aper (https://aper.dev/). In addition, CRDTs are a favorite topic of Raph Levien, AKA the Rust GUI guy, and featured in the Xi editor, his first major Rust project (retrospective here: https://raphlinus.github.io/xi/2020/06/27/xi-retrospective.html).

It's also super refreshing to see the work on Aper [1] [2] (a Rust library implementing state machine synchronization across a trusted network). Looking forward next series of articles here!

CRDTs make multiplayer text editing part of Zed's DNA
Our Aper (https://aper.dev) implements a number of similar concepts (state machine replication with optimistic local transitions + rollback). I 100% agree that it’s an easier model to reason about.
Your approach with cursors is clever, that part I haven’t seen elsewhere.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2022)
Drifting in Space | Full-time | NYC | https://driftingin.space
We make Jamsocket (https://jamsocket.com/), which allows application developers to spin up and connect to server-side compute. This allows browser-based applications to do computationally-intensive things that are otherwise impossible in the browser.
We went through YC and just raised a seed round and are looking to build up our team. We are based in NYC but are open to remote for experience candidates.
Our tech stack includes Rust, NATS, Docker, Postgres, TypeScript.
We have lots of fun technical problems that get into the nitty-gritty of networking and operating systems, plus fun open-source stuff like Aper (https://aper.dev/). We are excited to build a diverse team and encourage non-traditional candidates to apply.
