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.

Wddbfs – Mount a SQLite database as a filesystem
I suspect if you've run into problems with a lot of things built on FUSE, the problem is FUSE.
Yes, s3fs and sshfs can both leave the system in an unstable state. For example, there can be a dead mount which is impossible to unmount, and in severe cases, blocks a clean reboot.
A file system in user space (or in network space) should NEVER break the system, no matter what happens in user space (or in network space). Most network file systems try to respect this (albeit with mixed success). FUSE does not.
I'm not claiming FUSE cannot be made to work. Just that it's very bad since (1) plenty of smart people clearly failed to do so (2) the badness it leaves behind should be more than it's permitted to.
I can point to specific issues, but at the end of the day, that's neither here nor there. At the end of the day, something like:
https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/blob/master/example/poll....
Is about a hundred times more complicated than it should be. It should not require memsets, pthread mutexes, or flags, and should probably have an implementation in a modern, high-level language. To a large extent, that's the point of moving things out of the kernel.
I'm even perhaps okay with being permitted to do low-level operations for a particularly performance-constrained subsystem, but that's not 95% of the uses of something like FUSE.
Footnote: I actually enjoyed writing low-level code like this a lot, when computers were in the single-digit to triple-digit MHz range, and we didn't need to worry about people breaking in over a ubiquitous worldwide internet, but I left that mindset behind decades ago. Right now, I want code to be stable, simple, auditable, and secure.

Sensenmann: Code Deletion at Scale
I wrote the original version for a previous employer mostly in Python.
I was about to recreate a new version in Rust. And started with fixing up libfuse https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/pulls?q=author%3Amatthias... and the Rust equivalent https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/fuse-backend-rs/pulls?q=...
Your project is also interesting. I don't plan on ever adding write support. The old Python version was already using git as a library via gitpython, instead of shelling out via the command line. The new version will use Rust's gix.
Performance, even for the old Python version, was pretty decent. That probably came from using git via a library and being careful about fuse caching. The old version also already supported opening arbitrary commits, tags and branches, they were represented as different folders.

s3fs-fuse - allows to mount your s3/minio bucket link to your local directory
s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE(Filesystem in Userspace). s3fs makes you operate files and directories in S3 bucket like a local file system. s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.

The situation is much worse than I had imagined; the parent project, libfuse, is also in need of a maintainer.

Sounds helpful if you're using Apache. I use dufs (https://github.com/sigoden/dufs) as a lightweight file server.

Wddbfs – Mount a SQLite database as a filesystem
I'm with you on wishing WebDAV continued its rollout. These days there are great low-drama server-side deployments like https://github.com/sigoden/dufs. It's run relative too - you could habe multiple dufs processes serving up different directories in different ways. But for WebDAV, you can't simply mount that on the client side for every OS that's equally low configutaion. For that reason, I really like sshfs as it can be initiated from the client-side without a lot of config (just a mkdir of the mapped dir), and it's OK most time despite it's lack of speed and multi-day uptime. I'm on a chromebook now and it turns out that Samba is the easiest client-side tech to use for remote file systems. DAv should've been uniquitous.

WebDAV: https://github.com/sigoden/dufs - has an easy way of launching, and on the releases tab downloads for multiple CPUs/OSs. The rust exe can just be executed from the cli without installation via package managers (wget and tar xf) are all you need.

What's your web browser based access to file system?
I use sigoden/dufs. Very simple file browser that doubles as a basic http server. Supports upload, download and basic file manipulation. I feel it's utterly underrated.

Ask HN: Static Site Generator for photo and video sharing
My solution for public media distribution is Caddy¹ on Scaleway Stardust². 10gb of storage isn't really enough (someday I will write I/O for the 75gb of free object storage), but offers unmetered 100mbps data transfer for $3/month. I setup a proxy through Caddy to dufs³ to upload files.
Anything worth keeping goes on an external HD, buy a bigger one each year and make another copy. I also upload all irreplaceable video to Youtube as private videos; I recently went through and granted a few people access to the ones they wanted to see.
