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.

HyperShell: Spawn shells anywhere. Fully peer-to-peer
It took me a minute to realize this, but HyperShell seems to be (or can be thought of as) a demo app for the (previously unknown to me) "hyper ecosystem"---Hyperswarm, Hypercore, Hyperdrive, etc: https://docs.holepunch.to/ . Perhaps an even tighter example than HyperShell is hyperbeam [1]: look at the usage section and API, and then note that it's all implemented in like 200 lines of code.
I'm no expert in this field, but this stuff looks like legos for cutting-edge P2P solutions. I think this is the coolest thing I've seen since Tailscale.

What do you think about Telios?
Thanks for all of your great questions! We're using Hypercore protocol which uses something called Hyperswarm to connect peers over DHT/Kademlia. What's really neat about a Hyperswarm version that was released is you can create a firewall and whitelist specific public keys of peers that are allowed to connect to you. If a peer is not whitelisted then no exchanging of IPs happens. We've also thought about eventually adding a mix net like I2P over the network for added anonymity.

Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
With things like Hyperswarm [0], building things like that is easier than it used to be

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I've been doing something similar for ~20 years at: https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- Running `notes` will open this month's notes for YYYY_MM.txt

What is your approach to quick note taking during development?
I use a very command line focused approach with https://github.com/nickjj/notes.

Keep a Knowledge Log
Since about 2001 I used YYYY-MM.txt plain text files and have a shell script to help create notes in the most friendly way I could think of from the command line at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
Totally works fine for a knowledge log when you're streaming high level details. I still use it today.
But when you want to really go all-in with in-depth notes it's tricky because in 1 month's time if you're hardcore deep in the woods of learning, applying and using something you're going to end up with hundreds of concepts from an assorted set of tools and it kind of stinks to have all of that info sitting in 1 file. Think about using something like Kubernetes. That's really Kubernetes, Kustomize / Helm, EKS, various cloud hosting details (networking, etc.), Terraform and ton of super useful commands / context. Details you for sure want recorded for later.
For this type of info I've been building up a knowledge base with https://obsidian.md/. It's really nice and I highly recommend it. It's been working well for keeping things reasonably categorized without wasting a lot of time on the details around keeping links and tags up to date. It also has Vim mode that's good enough where day to day writing feels natural.

Show HN: Then – Understand how you spend your time and what influences your mood
Did you end up automating the entries?
For example, I have a command line note taking script at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
It creates a YYYY-MM-DD.txt file and doesn't include time stamps but it would be a 1 line change to make each entry get timestamped. I didn't do that because personally I'm more interested in monthly notes not per minute.
But I do think removing the barrier of creating entries is an important step with jotting things down, this way you can focus on what you want to write and not the boilerplate.

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
A whole bunch of little things, mainly command line tools.
Most of them are open source and also have extensive documentation and a screencast video going over them.
In no specific order:
- https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- https://github.com/nickjj/invoice
- https://github.com/nickjj/wait-until
And a few recent little scripts to solve specific things:

Along similar lines, nickjj also has a similar (but bash) notes script at:

Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
While I don't use it personally there's: https://obsidian.md/
It's cross platform and works offline. You write markdown and it produces a visual graph of your data. It supports interlinking notes, tags and images too.
Plain text notes[0] work best for me but I'd probably use Obsidian if I wanted to see things visually. When I tried it out briefly it was really solid.
