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.

Zed Decoded: Linux When? – Zed Blog
What I find interesting is that kwark, the open source contributor that made Linux port possible was the main developer on wgpu at Mozilla, yet he decided to build an alternative [1] to wgpu that he used for zed. I wonder what's the rational for that.

Ray query example in Blade
This is basically Ray Tracing support in Blade. So far, only ray queries are supported. Unlike prior work on ray tracing in Rust, this is original due to all shader code being WGSL, see the Naga PR.

How to convert SVGs containing text to a PDF?
I then came up with the genius idea of exporting the PDF using Inkscape and then just edit the text of the PDF, but using lopdf the text is all stacked ontop of each other. How can I simply convert a SVG to PDF using Rust or change the text of a PDF using Rust?

Purdy: An experimental PDF renderer using WebGPU
I copied a lot from lopdf which is a terrific library for PDF parsing. I don't rely on it explicitly as a dependency because there are some things I'm choosing to do differently, but I'd say at least 80% of the parsing logic is the same so it helped me to bootstrap quite a bit.
What are some alternatives?
tera - A template engine for Rust based on Jinja2/Django
printpdf - An easy-to-use library for writing PDF in Rust
kiss3d - Keep it simple, stupid 3d graphics engine for Rust.
grex - A command-line tool and Rust library with Python bindings for generating regular expressions from user-provided test cases
purdy - An experimental PDF renderer built on WebGPU
juniper - GraphQL server library for Rust
gfx - [maintenance mode] A low-overhead Vulkan-like GPU API for Rust.
quadtree - 🌲 Point/region Quadtree implementation for Rust.
msdfgen - Multi-channel signed distance field generator
PyPDF2 - A pure-python PDF library capable of splitting, merging, cropping, and transforming the pages of PDF files
askama - Type-safe, compiled Jinja-like templates for Rust
