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.

Ladybird, the from-scratch SerenityOS browser, can now display Google Docs
I readily admit that cooking the mozconfig is some holy hell, but they do have real-world examples in the repo; did you experience problems at that stage, or it literally wouldn't compile?
And while I haven't tried Ungoogled-Chromium, for unrelated reasons I helped an OSS project build their Brave-derivative in a container, so that may interest you: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/Dockerfile The only reason it's not already GitHub Actions for them is the chromium_src is 38GB and GHA cache is capped at 10G, but while digging up the link to that Dockerfile, I was reminded that there is a GHA for the macos build: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-mac...

A walkthrough on how to build Chromium from source!
While not exactly the same audience, one may find the Dockerfile for building Beacon handy as (a) more code, less talking (b) since Beacon is just a patched Chromium, its dependencies should be a superset of vanilla Chromium

Show HN: We launched a new web browser
Why are you swallowing "error" from invoking the "reall" tool? That seems like a great way to make contributors really frustrated: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/...
and again https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/...
This trend of "I'm going to invent some build tool because there are not enough build tools in the world" is evidently leaking out of the node ecosystem
For clarity, I did see that this was inspired by the brave-browser model, but of the ones to draw inspiration from, that's for sure not it given that their CI is closed source and they're trying to use npm in lieu of a more structured, comprehensible system
I like trying out alternate browsers, so congratulations on the launch, and I'll for sure try to build it, but I wanted to draw these to your attention because my experience with software is that error handling is about 80% of the job

Why does part of the Windows 98 Setup program look older than the rest?
SerenityOS replicates that look and feel. It is also implemented in a dialect of C++ that adheres to some of the good parts of C++98: https://serenityos.org

XZ: A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
One example of a useful technique
https://serenityos.org/ apparently only makes source code available. There are no binary images of the OS to install
I think Andreas said this functions like a little test -- if you're not willing to build it from source, then you probably wouldn't be a good contributor anyway.

Likewise, my shell project provides source tarballs only, right now - https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.21.0/
It is packaged in a number of places, which I appreciate. That means some other people are willing to do some work.
And they provide good feedback.
I would like it to be more widely available, but yeah I definitely see that you need to "gate" peanut gallery feedback a bit, because it takes up a lot of time.
Of course, it's a tricky balance, because you also want feedback from casual users, to make the project better.

Fuzzing Ladybird with tools from Google Project Zero
Indeed, given the existence of `JS::NonnullGCPtr`, `JS::GcPtr` intentionally corresponds to a nullable pointer, so it seems dangerous to convert one to a reference without a null-check.
That said, a naive code search finds what *may* be more cases of this pattern:
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ASerenityOS%2Fserenity+%2F...
Eg: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065... -> https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/a68b134e6dea5065...
In some of those search results, it is fine because there is a preceding null-check, and obviously I know nothing about this code other than this naive search result, but perhaps it would be prudent to vet all of them.

The Ladybird Browser Project
It is a SerenityOS project. You can find the answer to that question in their primary project's FAQ[1].

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
My contributions to SerenityOS[0] helped me get my current job. My team lead (who was also my interviewer) was interested in what I did since I listed some of it in my CV, and I showed him some PRs I made and explained what went into each of them. It was really exciting because I didn't have professional experience with low-level development, and basically got the job due to hobby programming.
