The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

I’ve built a motion triggered quacking duck to alert me if anyone is trying to steal my cookies
Depends on how you configure you Pico. I.e. this project consumes around 17mA idling while using CircuitPython's light sleep, which is quite a lot. One of my other battery powered projects uses 2.3mA as I was able to tap in Pico's deep sleep mode from C https://github.com/dr-mod/little-sun-gazer

I’ve built a motion triggered quacking duck with wireless charing that’s powered by RPi Pico
As for the bigger battery, yes the duck has room for a battery with more capacity. But I'd say the way to improve the ducks longevity would be to tap into the other Picos power saving modes that I wasn't able to achieve with CircuitPython. I was able to achieve 2.3 mA in deep sleep mode for my Little Sun Gazer Project https://github.com/dr-mod/little-sun-gazer , but it's written in C.

Pico with arduino-pico and TinyUSB in Clion
I managed to get the Arduino IDE to work great with my Pi Pico's using earlephilhower/arduino-pico and TinyUSB in the USB stack. I can code for MIDi and do all kinds of neat stuff... But...

Pico W and SHT41 errors
I am trying to build a data logger. Currently my hardware is a Raspberry Pi Pico W, a SHT41 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5776), and a small breadboard. Software is Arduino IDE, arduino-pico (https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico), and Adafruit_SHT4X library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SHT4X).

DIY Simucube Active Pedal Prototype
rp2040 is really powerful its not a conventional "desktop" raspberry pi, its a microcontroller similar to stm32 or the avr boards that the arduino uses. https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico for arduino support.

Tinyusb - CDC and HID device at the same time?
Do you want to do serial communications along with USB HID (keyboard)? Sure, you can do that with TinyUSB. I've done it with the arduino-pico core: https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico
