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.

Ask HN: Anyone using or working on a life dashboard?
I wrote some notes about this of what I want in my "life engine":
https://github.com/samsquire/ideas#5-life-engine
I never got into the quantified self but I did want a portal (such as similar to the Yahoo! and Excite.com days) in the early 2000s. of personal details that I can take actions on.
Then a few years later I wrote about "life situational awareness apps"
I want my phone and desktop computer system try to have widgets for "accommodation", "travel", "food".
https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3#59-life-indicators---sit...
I did write a question generator feed dashboard written in Electron that let you snap in data collectors that would let you save records of stock purchases and facts about yourself such as your salary. The idea is that you could get advice based on what you answer.

https://github.com/samsquire/living-documents-library (the app repository)
Unfortunately it's probably not buildable and I forgot to take screenshots or videos.

It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom
My blogging/journalling setup is simple.
I just use GitHub. I just rely on the default repository view on GitHub.com
I create a README.md and add markdown headings to the bottom or to the top (bottom if its a journal, top if it's a blog) and then when I get to 100-800 I create a new repository and repeat.

Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?
Thanks for posting this Ask HN question.
I journal ideas and thoughts about computers and software. I am interested in software architecture, parallelism, async, coroutines, database internals, programming language implementation, software design and the web.

I use README.md on GitHub and create a heading at the bottom for each entry. I use Typora on Windows or the GitHub web interface to edit.

DBOS: A Database-Oriented Operating System
I journal computer ideas and the ideas from database engineering are yet to percolate everywhere, especially to the desktop environment. Why is every company building frontends and backends when the CRUD problem could be solved properly once and for all and reused everywhere? We did the same for communication and kernels with Linux, Windows and BSD, and BSD sockets which is shared by practically everybody. Your React frontend is legacy and shall be rewritten in 5 years. But BSD sockets or the Linux kernel doesn't get rewritten everyday.
Rather than writing hand rolled code for querying data structures and manipulating them as Linux does, we can define queries that retrieve data structures in in the shape we're looking for.
To put this simply, this is extremely high level, and the idea that data layout, data structure and algorithm can be unaggregated for cache locality and performance and developer experience. We can form materialized views on top of other materialized views and calculate the most efficient retrieval and storage format based on the structure of the data.
I suspect a materialized view, as in the data structures of the Linux kernel is more efficient than materializing a join at runtime.
One of my ideas is "ideas4 9. Query for data structure", https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4#9-query-for-data-structu... which is the idea we should be capable of querying to retrieve data structure in the shape we want. The shape of the data lends itself to solving certain kinds of problems.
An ideas3 is "Query database" https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3#17-query-database, we persist queries as we persist data and use them to optimise query format.
I also had the idea # 10. in ideas4 to persist data access patterns directly and optimise that. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4#10-access-pattern-serial...

A fully open-source and end-to-end encrypted note taking alternative to Evernote
I am more likely to journal and blog if the friction to creating a post is as simple as opening a document and writing. The important part of journalling or note software is that you actually create notes. I did use Hetzner to run a Wordpress blog but it had an overhead of server expenses and keeping Wordpress up-to-date.
I don't want my data trapped in a proprietary system where it is difficult to export, so I use plaintext. I looked into Publii [1] but I prefer my current plaintext setup. Today I journal software ideas, computer ideas, startup ideas and community ideas on GitHub in the open, as README.md files. My journal is all public on GitHub at the following links. There are over 550+ journal entries, I am sure you shall enjoy them.

Any Google Analytics Alternatives?
I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.
