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.

Is Haskell capable of this?
Have a look at https://reflex-frp.org/, or https://owickstrom.github.io/gi-gtk-declarative/, they are an interesting and different way of working with UI in a non imperative way.

Apply git patch to package listed in extra-deps in stack build
Yeah, if you are interested enough to check out my PR at gi-gtk-declarative (https://github.com/owickstrom/gi-gtk-declarative/pull/90), then you will see how much I bent over backwards to avoid laying the foundations for an ormolu/fourmolu-like situation. Although, given that the project appears to be the only maintained declarative gui library in Haskell, I think the single-point-of-failure needs to be addressed.

Skia Canvas: Browser-Less Implementation of the HTML Canvas Drawing API for Node
If you're interested in node-compatible canvas implementations, there are several:
* canvaskit-wasm, from the skia project. I don't think it's gpu-accelerated: https://github.com/google/skia/tree/main/modules/canvaskit/n...
* @napi-rs/canvas. This is the fastest binding: https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas?tab=readme-ov-file#pe...
* node-canvas. Uses Cairo instead of Skia: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

Lottie under the hood
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The lottie-web library itself doesn't support rendering to WebGL. However, there is a package called canvaskit-wasm that wraps Skia (a graphics engine) with WebAssembly (wasm). This package includes a module called skottie which supports rendering animations into a WebGL surface. However, there is a drawback with this approach: using wasm requires loading a relatively large package, and it's uncertain whether all features are supported correctly, as the official compatibility table that tracks lottie support on different platforms does not include skottie.

Due to popular demand, here’s part 2
The imgs are mainly used by Tencent QQ and Baidu Tieba users. QQ and Tieba compress imgs by default, so the popular imgs (in China we call them "屌图" or "表情包") would be compressed million of times during the spreading, causing the super low quality. These APPs on Android are using Skia for image processing, which suffering from a legendary bug: result would be more green. The bug was fixed in 2016: https://github.com/google/skia/commit/c7d01d3e1d3621907c27b283fb7f8b6e177c629d
What are some alternatives?
MetalNanoVG - The Metal port of NanoVG.
bgfx - Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
reflex - Interactive programs without callbacks or side-effects. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) uses composable events and time-varying values to describe interactive systems as pure functions. Just like other pure functional code, functional reactive code is easier to get right on the first try, maintain, and reuse.
GLFW - A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input
static-haskell-nix - easily build most Haskell programs into fully static Linux executables
nanovg - Antialiased 2D vector drawing library on top of OpenGL for UI and visualizations.
