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.

A nano like text editor built with pure C
Most of that is probably attributable to being based on Kilo: https://github.com/antirez/kilo (kinda strange they didn't link directly in their readme) - a tiny text editor written by antirez who notably also created Redis. Antirez has a bunch of really interesting side projects if you dig into their github repo.

Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano
Yeah, "micro" for an editor would be 11 kilo bytes. I bet it's possible to do a half-decent editor in C in 11KB. Antirez's "kilo" (~1000 lines of C) is 36KB when compiled with standard gcc (https://github.com/antirez/kilo).
That said, for many server-type use cases these days, 11MB isn't a huge deal. Still, I wonder if micro could be compiled on / ported to TinyGo and end up a few hundred KB? It looks like TinyGo can produce some pretty small binaries: https://tinygo.org/docs/guides/optimizing-binaries/

What happens when you press a key in your terminal?
Anyone interested in the machinations of all of this terminal stuff should look at antirez’ kilo, a terminal text editor in under 1000 lines of code: https://github.com/antirez/kilo
There is a nice tutorial that walks through how one might write it from scratch: https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo/

A simple terminal game
I always wondered how people get stuff animated on the terminal but I never had the time to look into it up until a few years ago when someone on the internet released an awesome guide on how to create a text editor in less than 1000 lines of C. What caught my attention about this was that it was based on Antirez' kilo - which is a terminal based editor.

Ask HN: How to learn about text editor architectures and implementations?
You could start by looking at something super simple like Kilo:
https://github.com/antirez/kilo
Even I could understand this one pretty well and that's no small matter.

Ginkgo: A WIP small text editor built entirely in Rust with cursor control and select Vim features
I just started learning Rust 2 weeks ago, and I wanted to apply my learning towards a project.Ginkgo is a small text editor built entirely in Rust. It takes inspiration from the famous tiny C-based text editor, Kilo. It also includes many Vim inspired keybindings and features such as normal/insert modes. For convenience, it also has added mouse cursor support!

Python Is Portable
The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]
As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].
Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Cosmopolitan https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan and https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html
Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS
It all started from this post.
- Cosmopolitan – build-once run-anywhere C library

Show HN: Usr/bin/env Docker run
For this .args file, put one argument per line. This will run on start. You can use `/zip/mydepencency.anything` to read from files, but if you have an executable dependency you'll need to extract it first.
You can do this with any software you can compile with comsocc, by adding a call to LoadZipArgs[1] in the main function.
It'seasy to get started, your ideas will branch out as soon as you start playing with it.

Ask HN: ANSI escape sequences reference docs?
Check out this comment by jart (cosmpolitan author) here: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/issues/766#issuecomment...
it might help but not sure how comprehensive it is! would it be a bad idea for you to check out the source code of other popular emulators (maybe iTerm 2^0) ?

Actually Portable Vim (With a Cute Vimrc)
The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).
I would call that portable.

Show HN: PyApp – runtime installer for Python applications
will go on my "to try" list where i already have cosmopolitan [2]. my last setup (windows) was shiv + wine + nsis (used that as pyinstaller had some issues)[2]
