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.

Hi DM's, what medium do you use to organise your campaign?
For sharing settings and lore with players, GitHub wiki. Understands Org and several other formats thanks to GitHub Markup, so I can copy in (and trim down) my original notes without much fuss.

Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid
Re: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/533
I’m the main author of KeenWrite (see screenshots), a type of desktop Markdown editor that supports diagrams. It’s encouraging to see that Mermaid diagrams are being supported in GitHub. There are a few drawbacks on the syntax and implications of using MermaidJS.
First, only browser-based SVG renderers can correctly parse Mermaid diagrams. I’ve tested Apache Batik, svgSalamander, resvg, rsvg-convert, svglib, CairoSVG, ConTeXt, and QtSVG. See issue 2485. This implies that typesetting Mermaid diagrams is not currently possible. In effect, by including Mermaid diagrams, many documents will be restricted to web-based output, excluding the possibility of producing PDF documents based on GitHub markdown documents (for the foreseeable future).
Second, there are numerous text-to-diagram facilities available beyond Mermaid. The server at https://kroki.io/ supports Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz, byte fields, and many more. While including MermaidJS is a great step forward, supporting Kroki diagrams would allow a much greater variety. (Most diagrams produced in MermaidJS can also be crafted in Graphviz, albeit with less terse syntax.)
Third, see the CommonMark discussion thread referring to a syntax for diagrams. It’s unfortunate that a standard “namespace” concept was not proposed.
Fourth, KeenWrite integrates Kroki. To do so, it uses a variation on the syntax:
``` diagram-mermaid -
Footnotes now supported in GitHub Markdown
I thought it only rendered files in the repo (match by extension). Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues?

Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid
> I think so-called ASCII-art is more in the spirit of Markdown.
If you're simply doing a less on a file, then sure. But if you want to do a 'render' on the Markdown and convert it to another format (HTML, PDF) then having a mechanism that can translate ASCII to something graphical could be useful.
In some ways this is what the DOT language does in Graphviz:

> The spirit behind the kind of thing in the OP, on the other hand, is that one should get nicely formatted HTML from Markdown for the purpose of online consumption. Which is a very different goal.
I'm not sure if there's a way to have both ASCII art and it be renderable to graphics. Closest that I could find:
