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.

Common libraries and data structures for C
I may as well throw my hat into the ring: https://github.com/lelanthran/libds
I decided that I wanted to be able to simply drop a single .h file and a single .c file into any project without have to build a `libBlah.so` and link it to every project that needed (for example) a hashmap.
The practical result is that using the hashmap only requires me to copy the header and source files into the calling project.
It does build as a standalone library too, so you can link it if you want.
My primary reason for starting this is that I was pretty unsatisfied with all of the string libraries for C. When all I want to do is concatenate multiple strings together, I don't want to have to convert between `char ` and `struct stringtype ` everywhere.
The string functions are very useful as they all operate on the standard `char *` (nul-terminated) type.

That would be nice, then I wouldn't have to use non-standard stuff.
I made my own easy-to-incorporate-into-any-project library - https://github.com/lelanthran/libds - just copy the ds_*.h and ds_*.c into a project and you're good to go.
I'm not saying it will work for you, but it works for me.

> Is there a good string-manipulation C library?
You will have to define "good". My string library[1][2] is "good" for me because:
1. It's compatible with all the usual string functions (doesn't define a new type `string_t` or similar, uses existing `char `).
2. It does what I want: a) Works on multiple strings so repeated operations are easy, and b) Allocates as necessary so that the caller only has to free, and not calculate how much memory is needed beforehand.
The combination of the above means that many common* string operations that I want to do in my programs are both easy to do and easy to visually inspect for correctness in the caller.
Others will say that this is not good, because it still uses and exposes `char *`.

[2] Currently the only bug I know of is the quadratic runtime in many of the functions. I intend to fix this at some point.

Strings in C... tiring and unsafe. So I just made this lib. Am I doing it right, Reddit ?
As an example of an opaque pointer library, see https://github.com/lelanthran/libds/blob/v1.0.5/src/ds_ll.h - See line 7 for the typedef. - Lines 9, 10, 11 and 67, 68 and 69 for making it callable from C++.

I want to be better at programming
So, let’s go through an example. Since you’re used to using C, I’d suggest looking through the awesome-C repo. From there, you might decide you’re interested in graphics, so you check out OpenGL.

Updated book to learn C
For example, you can use the C language with sds strings (see https://github.com/antirez/sds) if you want to have an easier time with string formatting and don't want to worry about using the famously unsafe string.h functions correctly. You'll still program in ISO C, but just not in the standard library. The same applies to pretty much all parts of the standard library, the only part unsurpassed is pretty much just printf and the math headers (math.h, fenv.h, tgmath.h, complex.h) imo, and the occasional call to exit. A good place to look for libraries if you want to go that route is the awesome-c collection: https://github.com/oz123/awesome-c

Ask HN: Modern C Libraries
There's an awesome C list of libraries and frameworks [1]. Pick one that suits your needs.
Time and again folks say such and such isn't suitable tool to do something. While some of those admonitions are true, if you're doing something to learn, feel free to ignore those and enjoy your learning. There're folks who learn assembly even today and learn a great deal of other things than assembly and have fun too.
As for C, it'd recommend most folks know the basics since many "modern" languages totally don't teach you those, and in fact hide the details from you that things feel like magic to you eventually if you keep using these high-level languages. This is okay as long as you can know the basics and map them back when needed.
