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.

Attracting attention to terminalimageviwer, a c++ program that renders an image with block chars and optionally teletype chars! Unfortunately hasn't had any real commits since July 2021
I tried TIV and I liked it pretty much, but for me, the output of imcat looks better.

My favorite cli/tui programs:
imcat - images in terminal (doesn't work in urxvt, works well in tilix/tty {tested there})

Why can't I write code inside my browser?
Do you have a specific gripe against X11? Again, it would be very much against the Unix philosophy to roll that highly complex functionality into the core SSH protocol. The problem would still be just as complex and challenging. Implementing a network-transparent GUI always is. You'd lose the separation of concerns, and you'd end up running two GUI systems rather than one.
If you want a very basic GUI over SSH without a full-blown GUI like with X11, you already have the option of using a TUI like Midnight Commander. You can preview images on the command-line, with a tool like imcat. [0]

A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Which 2nd language should I learn?
Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa
- Exa Is Deprecated
- ls -l IN COLOR!

What's your favorite Go architecture for a new micro-service? Here's mine...
Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Ls with icons
Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
What are some alternatives?
TerminalImageViewer - Small C++ program to display images in a (modern) terminal using RGB ANSI codes and unicode block graphics characters
lsd - The next gen ls command
glances - Glances an Eye on your system. A top/htop alternative for GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS and Windows operating systems.
colorls - A Ruby gem that beautifies the terminal's ls command, with color and font-awesome icons. :tada:
gitui - Blazing 💥 fast terminal-ui for git written in rust 🦀
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
Code-Server - VS Code in the browser
fd - A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
commons-io - Apache Commons IO
coreutils - Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
bat - A cat(1) clone with wings.
