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.

Why is it so hard to write a scaffolding tool?
Perhaps, if you’re just creating a new application every couple of years. For library authors like myself, a scaffolding tool is exactly what I need to quickly make the ecosystem of small, reusable libraries that you speak of. Do you expect Sindre Sorhus to manually copy the MIT license to each new project? What about the CI config? The .gitignore?
Okay, you might say, Sindre is an exceptional case. But on any new project, you might forget to include the correct set of files or screw up how they are set up by not filling in or updating a copyright notice, project version number, repo link, etc. Sure, you can cut down on the number of files you start your projects with and the fill-in-the-blank values they might need, but that only gets you so far and it reduces the initial usability of your project.
A scaffolding tool helps maintain consistently high quality across projects. For example, my Yeoman generator automatically fetches the latest version of my favorite CLI helpers and testing framework and other dependencies, so I never accidentally start a project with an outdated, potentially insecure codebase.

Not everyone needs something this fancy! Another commenter mentioned editor snippets, which is probably what I would use if I couldn’t have Yeoman. But when you make new projects on a regular basis, scaffolding is 100% the way to go.

Why is it so hard to write a scaffolding tool?
Was in my todo to investigate scaffolding tools. Was thinking of using:
https://github.com/norskeld/arx
Curious what everyone else uses? Or you still start each project with empty folders and manually add things?
What are some alternatives?
awesome-projen - P6M7G8's Awesome Projen
pdkit - A construct driven approach to repository management
hof - Framework that joins data models, schemas, code generation, and a task engine. Language and technology agnostic.
kdl-rs - Rust parser for KDL
ffizer - ffizer is a files and folders initializer / generator. Create any kind (or part) of project from template.
