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.

Is there a simply way to write small, portable UIs in Clojure/script? Something akin to Elm
For a cljs option you can have a client-only application that runs in the browser. I have an example app here that uses only cljs and is hosted for free on github pages https://github.com/dvingo/malli-react-hook-form

create-helix-app: project templates with Helix and more
In short, performance, easier interop with JS react libraries, better static analysis, and being able to use modern React features. For more details, see https://github.com/lilactown/helix/blob/master/docs/motivation.md and https://github.com/lilactown/helix/blob/master/docs/faq.md#what-about-hiccup. It's also worth checking this blog post: https://fbeyer.com/posts/refx-origins/

You can ignore the malli/react-hook-form part - the relevant parts are the entry namespace and the shadow-cljs config. This example uses https://github.com/lilactown/helix (great tutorial here https://github.com/iwrotesomecode/react-docs-helix) but you can use reagent if you wish. I think this should meet your requirements. You can inline your data in the cljs bundle as data and add UI via react components.

React.dev - are CLJS developers using Reagent in trouble?

> But Reagent supports functional components as well, with hooks and all.
I addressed this already: while reagent is able to emit function components, there is a performance penalty to this.[1]
> I also very much like Hiccup, and so do many of us, because code is data and data is code, and Helix has decided not to support that.
Hiccup is convenient to write, but it is a constant run-time cost and a significant storage cost given that you have to store long series of constructors to cljs.core.PersistentVector in your bundle, have the JS runtime actually construct the vector, then pass it through a Hiccup interpreter to finally produce DOM nodes and throw away the persistent vector, only to repeat this entire process again on re-render.[2]
> Helix has decided not to support that.
That is simply not true. From the Helix documentation[2],
> If you want to use libraries like sablono, hicada or even hx hiccup parser, you can easily add that by creating a custom macro.
These are all Hiccup interpreters you can readily use.
IME there is very little difference between using the $ macro in Helix and writing Hiccup. I do not really miss Hiccup when I use Helix, and you still have data as code ;)
While this is from an unrelated project, there are benchmarks[3] done against Reagent that demonstrate the sheer overhead it has. In practice it is not a big problem if you rarely trigger a re-render, but otherwise it is a non-trivial cost, and if you want to use modern React features (like Suspense), there is a lot of r/as-element mingling going on, converting cases, etc. that simply make Reagent feel more tedious to use than Helix.
Also, the newer UIx2, which largely borrows from Helix, is "3.2x faster than Reagent" according to one of the contributors.[4]
I think it'd be worthwhile to benchmark all of these libraries against each other and record the data in one place. Maybe I'll get around to doing it this weekend :)

What is the state of frontend animation in React/ClojureScript?
Helix is also worth checking our for lightweight React integration and hooks support.
- reframe or plain reagent for new cljs SPA?
-
How does Reagent/re-frame bypass the prolifeation of React hooks?
Helix is a thinner library with access to hooks, if you want them.

re-frame vs react
You mentioned liking React hooks, would helix be more to your liking?

Keechma vs Keechma.next
Keechma/next is integrated directly with React through the hooks system (and using the excellent Helix library. You can find the integration code in the Keechma/next toolbox - especially https://github.com/keechma/keechma-next-toolbox/blob/master/src/keechma/next/helix/core.cljs
