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.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
https://github.com/jbaldwin/liblifthttp
I created a C++17 HTTP client which is backed by curl and libuv (linux only! sorry windows). I think a lot of people have done this or something similar but almost all of the ones I looked at either exposed the curl api directly in some fashion or had extremely weak async support. So my main motivation was extremely easy asynchronous queries for high throughput with a very modern C++ API that has as good as you can get memory safety, or at least as good as modern C++ will let you get. No raw curl calls or api exposed at all. I used to find it extremely difficult to make C++ HTTP calls, now its a real breeze.
My next project is a bit more ambitious: https://github.com/jbaldwin/libcoro/ -- I'd like to make a C++20 HTTP client from the ground up with first class coroutine support, and I'll be using lift as a benchmark to beat performance wise.
