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.

Get funding for your Kotlin project! Apply for a grant from the Kotlin Foundation.
Reasonable people can disagree on licensing issues, and obviously they can give out grants under whatever conditions they like, but telling developers that JetBrains knows what license is best for your project's users seems intrusive to me. My project has almost 900 github stars, it's under the LGPL and in almost 7 years no user has ever asked for a less restrictive license.

Show HN: Kweb: A remote interface to the web browser DOM, in Kotlin
User Manual: https://docs.kweb.io/book
Kweb is a novel web framework that acts as a remote interface to the web browser's DOM (Document Object Model). With Kweb, you can create and manipulate DOM elements and listen for and handle events, all using an intuitive Kotlin DSL that mirrors the structure of the HTML being created.
Kweb manages state through observable mutable values called kvars:
import kweb.*

Keeping Figma Fast: perf-testing the WASM editor
https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/08/compose-multiplatf...
They don't really mention Wasm there as this mostly focuses on the IOS support. They had a lot of presentations about that at kotlin conf and the compose web channel in the kotlin slack is very active.
Basically, anyone currently doing mobile development that is used to modern UI frameworks for that, will soon be able to target browsers effortlessly without compromising on their UI frameworks. Compose is one of the frameworks. But there are others. I've seen some nice kotlin-js frameworks targeting canvas and vector graphics. Doodle is a nice example: https://nacular.github.io/doodle/. I have not used that yet but it looks quite slick. A lot of kotlin-js stuff will transition to wasm once the compiler stabilizes.
Web developers seem to be mostly unable to see beyond their comfort zone of DOM/CSS/JS. There are alternative ways of doing UI/UX that are common outside of browsers. Applying that in a browser is transitioning from impossible (a few years ago) to being hard but very feasible (the last few years) to being easy, very common, and widely supported across different developer ecosystems (the next few years). Not a matter of if but when.
