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
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.

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 <-- this is recent but needs editing
https://github.com/samsquire/ideas5 <-- this is what I'm working on now
https://github.com/samsquire/startups
https://github.com/samsquire/blog <-- thoughts I want to write about, but incomplete
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.

Why single vendor is the new proprietary
> why does open source need to "win"
Open source does not need to win.
But your ability to be in control of your computer needs to be preserved. A proprietary fridge cannot control your diet, while a proprietary App Store can control what software you install on YOUR phone (unless you live in EU, hello DMA!). The tail wags the dog, so to speak. Proprietary software has also been shown to break user workflows or remove functions in an update while leaving users with no choice whatsoever.
One alternative to having open source win is to ensure software must come with a robust warranty and other assurances you expect from the things you buy. EU's CRA will make software vulnerabilities in WiFi routers covered by warranty, for example.
You can also ensure robust and interoperable data storage options. For example, https://obsidian.md/ stores all notes in Markdown, not holding the data hostage in case users will not like how future versions will work. GDPR actually has a provision for data portability (Art. 20), but it does not seem to have a requisite effect on the industry yet.
And until the above issues are solved, open source remains the best way to ensure that a software tail cannot wag your computer dog.

Replatforming from Gatsby to Zola!
So I've had my fair share of personal websites and blogs. I have built them on stacks ranging from the most basic HTML and CSS, to hosted frameworks like Wordpress and Laravel, to the more modern single page applications built in Vue and React. For a simple content blog I think you can't go wrong with a Static Site Generator though. These days I am almost exclusively writing everything in Obsidian. Which is great because its all in standard markdown format. This allows for a really neat and easy content publishing workflow.

Setting Up Obsidian for Content Planning and Project Management
Obsidian is a writing application created to allow for offline / private note taking in markdown format, in an interface that looks a lot like our regular programming IDE. It is very flexible, with a good collection of community plugins that you can use to customize Obsidian to your heart contents.
