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.

Ink for Game Design
What does this have to do with Inkle's Ink? Well, Ink is a form of engine-agnostic game data creation. At heart, Ink is a narrative scripting language but because it was conceived as middleware, it can be used by many game development stacks. The primary integration is Unity which supports many platforms on its own but Ink scripts can also be run in the browser, Defold, Godot, Unreal and more. You can write Ink once, test it using Inky or Inklecate and deploy it using your desired framework. I can personally attest to running the same Ink script in the browser with ink.js and in the Defold, Godot and Unity game engines.

A simple MUD server in Python which can be run on a Raspberry Pi
That's awesome, thanks!
I am aware of Inform 7, I think it is awesome. A few months ago I made a quick demo using Inklescript[1], which I found simpler and more suitable to my project (a Star Trek adventure). Inform 7 remains something I wish to explore in the future when I need something more complex.
Thanks! ;)

About Text based games,basically
As others have said, Twine is really a great starting point for text or choice-based games. If you'd like to get into the weeds a little more, I'd also shout out Ink, which is incredibly flexible and really fun imo, altho it def requires a bit more coding experience.

- Text adventure ported to social media
- Free websites for writing branching plot lines?

Any other devs that have / are making choose your own adventures?

How to get into narrative design with no coding/programming experience?
Start writing in ink or twine.

Narrative Game Design
Otherwise, Inkle is also quite good. (and people have made players for it in Unreal and Unity, so it's not hard to attach to existing game projects.) I don't think it has the nifty visual flowchart though, if that's a piece you care about.

Are there any tools for designing the story of a dating sim?
I really like Ink. The developers made tons of games with it like the Sorcery! series, so it has a good foundation, and it's quite easy to write and organize, more than twine in my opinion.

Why CISA Is Warning CISOs About a Breach at Sisense
State Encryption was one of those long requested features[0] (I had it on my ideas list for years[1]) that Hashicorp didn't have much incentive to build. I don't think it has to with distancing opentofu as such, but the opentofu team prioritizing the right things that customers actually need.

OPML Is Underrated
What I would really like to see is “subscribeable OPML feeds”, so GitHub could provide a OPML feed for what shows up in your home page, and you any changes in your subscriptions (repos you watch etc) would change the OPML, which would then cause your feed reader to unsubscribe/subscribe to specific RAS feeds.
Unfortunately, this isn’t supported by the majority of RSS clients (tt-rss is the only one I know) which means in practice OPML feeds are merely import/export mechanisms.

Text adventure ported to social media
I’ve been wanting to write a Mastodon/Twitter twine compiler that would take an existing Twine story and compile it to a list of posts.
https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#twitter-adventure-maker
The primary difficulty is in flattening the state, which twine supports (apple=true, key=false in this story) but if it’s not too many variables might work out.

Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories
In my list of ideas is one for a Twine-compatible Twitter-Adventure Maker[0]. Remember those "choose your own adventure threads" that showed up on twitter and got viral a while back[1]. It would be great to be able to use Twine for authoring those.

Thoughts on RSS
I wish OPML (the import/export RSS format) was also subscribe-able[1] in more clients. So my GitHub "news feed" would live at github.com/captn3m0/news.opml (which would just be a list of RSS URLs), and the client would update this list periodically.
Same thing works well for Twitter, or other sites.
