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.

New CRISPR-based map ties every human gene to its function
> Where are the polished, powerful design tools for biology
User interfaces for biology have drastically improved over the last 10 years.
Domain-specific tools like genome browsers, protein viewers, or phylogenetic explorers [1-3] almost all look and feel a lot better than they did in 2012.
The biggest exception here is UCSC Genome Browser, which has an old-school design and web technology stack. That said, it's steadily added features over the years, has substantially sleekened UX in its periphery, and remains widely used.
There are also bespoke visual design resources for biology applications that are good and getting better, like BioRender and PhyloPic [4-5]. There are multi-tiered packages like Dash Bio that wrap biology components together. There's Blender biology community, too!

Why IndexedDB is slow and what to use instead
I'm more interested in read speeds than write speeds. I have about 2 MB of data that I fetch, then parsed and transformed into a heavily nested object for easy look-up by various types of keys.
In my brief experiment, it was 12% faster to read from the web Cache API, re-parse and re-transform that heavily nested object than to read the fully transformed object via IndexedDB. That surprised me! My understanding is that IndexedDB does a structured clone as part of the read, which I suspect is the main cause of slowness of IndexedDB relative to the Cache API approach in my use case.
Related commits to reproduce that finding are in [1], specifically [2].

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I created Ideogram.js, a JavaScript library for chromosome visualization [1]. Ideogram supports drawing and animating genome-wide datasets, enabling a variety of genomic views [3].

Pure C WebRTC
I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....
When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!
Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com
Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)
- Need help with audio calls for rooms with about 10 people in each.

Possible frameworks/languages for a web/mobile application
In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks arenāt as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Video streaming in golang
Don't try to make RTC yourself, it looks easy, but in fact, it's a really hard problem to solve. Use https://pion.ly/ it's a pretty solid package they also have a discord/slack channel with a lot of helpful people there.
