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.

The impact of removing jQuery on our web performance
If you are mainly using jquery for its DOM manipulation¹ rather than for browser compatibility² or things that didn't exist consistently in older browsers³ then there are much smaller libraries that do that job which may be worth looking into. https://github.com/fabiospampinato/cash or https://github.com/franciscop/umbrella to give a couple of examples. Some explicitly support IE11 so you are not dropping as much support for legacy browsers as you might otherwise.
Though if jQuery works for you and isn't a performance issue, then by all means keep with it. It may not be ideal, but good enough and does the job. Let the naysayers spend their time debating whether you should or not, and just get on with making things!

Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end
Yes, and if you continue long enough you end up with one of the many jQuery alternatives, like mine:

Ask HN: Should I even bother with React?
If you're learning React just to get a job, you're doing it wrong, since recruiters are always changing their requirements. They will add `proficient in Svelte` just to annoy you, (after having learning React) and now you're no longer relevant to them.
That's why I say: stick to the baseline of HTML, CSS, & JS. Learn to write vanilla JS for common things, maybe learn UmbrellaJS[0] for syntactic sugar and manipulating the DOM.
Oh and learn some APIs to do back-end stuff too. And for forms, there's loads of projects out there to automate that[1]

Replacing jQuery (110kb) With UmbrellaJS (8kb)
const insertAfter = (col, html) => col.forEach(el => el.insertAdjacentElement('afterend', html));
Keep going a bit like that, until you realize you are basically reinventing jQuery. Add a couple of very nice-to-haves, like chaining (instead of nesting in these examples above) and that's exactly what Umbrella JS is, very thin methods to manipulate the DOM and handle events. In fact, compare our "addClass" implementation in this comment to [Umbrella's addClass](https://github.com/franciscop/umbrella/blob/master/src/plugi...), it's almost the same size but hundred times more flexible:
// Add class(es) to the matched nodes

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
Here's an example of building a well-structured, maintainable web-site using JavaScript, HTML and CSS: https://github.com/wisercoder/eureka/tree/master/webapp/Clie...
It doesn't use React (imagine the horror!), instead it uses two tine 500-line libs.

React is a fractal of bad design
I'm not quite seeing React being used, just JSX though? All the view and state updating is being done manually, but it looks fairly well-organised. There are small optimisations like debouncing onInput with a timeout (avoiding rapid re-rendering for every character typed): https://github.com/wisercoder/eureka/blob/master/webapp/Clie...

I don't miss React: a story about using the platform
React works well for simple, non-interactive components. Complex, interactive components are going to have state. Stateful components don't work so well in React. If you want to update props in a stateful component, the recommendation is to replace the component entirely by changing its key. At the point all of the benefits of React (preservation of selection, caret position, scroll position etc.) vanish. You might as well use vanilla js instead of React.
What does using Vanilla JS look like? Here's an example: https://github.com/wisercoder/eureka It uses two tiny 500-line libs. It uses TSX files, just like React. It has components, just like React. It doesn't have incremental screen update, but neither does React, if your components are interactive and stateful.
