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.

MakeMake: Generate make files from C source code
Or even better, fswatch (https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch) which works on Linux, BSDs, macOS, Windows, and even Solaris
-
Are there any CLIs or good ways on macOS to real-time / continuously sync two folders on the same drive?
If you don’t mind shell shell scripting you can use something like fswatch and some shell logic to do something similar.

File System Watcher
Well, I am not too lazy to search but I was interested in your experience, especially with reliability.
This one looks interesting: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
The required kernel hooks exist in pretty much any common OS these days, it is a user-space tool that is sometimes missing.
It may not be installed by default, but inotifywait is available in common Linux distributions, usually in a package called something like ionotify-tools, and has been for over a decade-ana-half IIRC. It'll work under WSL on Windows too, though only for ext4 devices not bits of the Windows filesystem made available to Linux.
I can't speak to what other OSs include by default, but as every major OS has a different API for defining how to register a lister and how it gets messages no built-in tool is going to be cross platform. There are third party tools which present more cross-platform consistency, most notably https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch#readme (also available in common Linux distros, just an apt install away in Debian for instance).

Build a Rails script watcher/runner using fswatch
fswatch is a cross-platform file change monitor. It will watch any files you specify, then run a script on change.
- Is there a way to trigger an action when a file is transfered via another computer?
-
Script only runs when it sees new file that fits criteria help needed
You can do this without polling using a util like fswatch: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch

GhostSCAD: Marrying OpenSCAD and Golang
> It watches source files, and regenerates the OpenSCAD files automatically
inotify() is awesome. Here's a library in python that does it.
https://michaelcho.me/article/using-pythons-watchdog-to-moni...
There's also inotifywatch on linux and fswatch on mac. I'm sure there's alternatives for BSD Unix and Windows, but I care the least about those OS's.

Optimizing templates
For development it's easy to just ParseFiles before every Execute to be sure you have the latest version. But for production something else is needed, fx watch for changes in files and have this trigger a reload (fx using https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch).

Meet entr, the standalone file watcher
entr ("Event Notify Test Runner"; GitHub), is a command-line tool written by Eric Radman that allows running arbitrary commands whenever files change.

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.
They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)
I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)
For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.
I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.
I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]
———
You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.
Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.
I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.
