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.

I built something like this too:

Non-code contributions are the secret to open source success
I took the same approach to "docs are tests and tests are docs" with integration testing when I created this library: https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory
I realized at some point that a test and a how-to guide can and should actually be the same thing - not just for doctests, but for every kind of test.
It's not only 2x quicker to combine writing a test with writing docs, the test part and the docs part reinforce each other:
* Tests are more easily understandable when you attach written context intended for human consumption.
* Docs are better if they come attached to a guarantee that they're valid, not out of date and not missing crucial details.
* TDD is better if how-to docs are created as a side effect.

Ask HN: Are there any LLM projects for creating integration tests?
I have created a project for easily writing this type of test with YAML:
https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory
I dont think that this type of task is really appropriate for an LLM though. It is better to use hard abstractions for the truly deterministic stuff and for other stuff where you may need to do subtle trade offs (e.g. choosing a selector for the search bar) an LLM will generally do a bad job.

Should you add screenshots to documentation?
For those interested in the concept of having permanently up-to-date documentation with screenshots I built this testing framework based upon the idea that good documentation can be a autogenerated artefact of good tests:

How to add documentation to your product life cycle
I don't like gherkin. It's it has very awkward syntax, it's not type safe, it's very verbose, it has no ability to abstract scenarios and rather than being a source for generating the documentation it tries to be the documentation.
Nonetheless, there is a small number of projects where they either work around this or it doesn't matter as much. I find that most people that apply gherkin to their projects find it doesn't work - usually for one of the above reasons.
I built https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory as an alternative that has straightforward syntax (YAML), very strict type safety (StrictYAML), low verbosity, and is explicitly designed as a source for generating documentation rather than trying to be the documentation.

Beyond OpenAPI
I built this because I had the same idea: https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory
If the specification can be tested and used to generate docs and can be rewritten based upon program output then the maintenance cost for producing docs like these plunges.

Optimizing Postgres's Autovacuum for High-Churn Tables
-c fsync=off -c synchronous_commit=off -c full_page_writes=off
I got the answer from Karen Jex at Djangocon 2023.
I used it to build some integration tests which exhibit best practices: https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory/tree/master/examples/...
I considered using tmpfs but I wanted to cache the entire database volume and couldnt figure out how to do that with podman.

Elixir Livebook is a secret weapon for documentation
This is incredible work.
To anyone curious, I highly recommend:

- https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory/why-not/
From the overall RDD/BDD type home page:
- https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory/
The entire product site is a thing of richly informative beauty.

My only question was whether the generated 'docs' snippets would add value over just reading the story in your DASL. Any markdown site generator (such as the chosen Material for MKDocs) can just embed the ```yaml anyway. But then I realized what was generating e.g. …
- https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory/using/engine/rewrite-story/
… and how superior that is to typical docs, especially typical docstring or swagger factories.

Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
plz-see: Interactive HTTP client, similar to restclient and verb, but using Elisp instead of a special text-based syntax.

- Emacs as REST API client?

RESTing with Emacs, or why EDN is better than JSON
Ah, btw. I just realized, verb's verb-send-request-on-point doesn't always properly work with source blocks. So I pushed a fix, PR is here.

Lama2: Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams
have you checked this https://github.com/federicotdn/verb . Its emacs package and i am able to write and test api's with text files.

Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text
Not as usable for testing, but verb.el[1] is a great tool for doing something very similar in org-mode

Has anyone ever tried using Google Sheets or Excel to journal?
I've been a long time user of the org-mode code blocks feature—storing runnable code block inline in the document. Something I've recently started using is verb to include HTTP requests in my documents when I'm testing out web APIs.

How to use Tiddlywiki via REST API in Emacs
Looks also interesting, but it doesn't fit my use cases: I need custom functions to grab values/data from other sources (e.g. pocket-reader.el).restclient` is more about having pre-defined HTTP requests (path, headers, payload etc.) in a buffer and a major mode for executing the requests. Pretty much the same what verb offers.

HTTPie/cURL client for Emacs?
There is also verb.el.
What are some alternatives?
bumblebee - Pre-trained Neural Network models in Axon (+ 🤗 Models integration)
ob-http - make http request within org-mode babel
testy - test helpers for more meaningful, readable, and fluent tests
restclient.el - HTTP REST client tool for emacs
ospec - Noiseless testing framework
emacs-request - Request.el -- Easy HTTP request for Emacs Lisp
jsverify - Write powerful and concise tests. Property-based testing for JavaScript. Like QuickCheck.
httpyac - Command Line Interface for *.http and *.rest files. Connect with http, gRPC, WebSocket and MQTT
examples - Tests that rewrite themselves. Tests that rewrite your docs.
stepci - Automated API Testing and Quality Assurance
explorer - Series (one-dimensional) and dataframes (two-dimensional) for fast and elegant data exploration in Elixir
org-fancy-priorities - Display Org Mode priorities as custom strings
