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?
* Note: Sadly, include is not supported on GH. https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095

Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)
My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.
I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

This is one of those things that the ever-amazing pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does very well, on top of supporting virtually every other document format.

LaTeX makes me so angry at word
Folks feel the same way about Markdown versus LaTeX: why use something significantly more complicated where a looser, human-readable grammar works better?
For any other situations, I use https://pandoc.org/, or, generate a Word doc scriptomatically.

Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Congrats on the launch, I guess, but there are so many free options that I can't think of a situation where paying $0.25 per document would be justified...? Just to name a few:
Back in the days, I used to use XSL-FO [0] and it was okay. It was not very precise but it rarely if ever broke, and was perfectly integrated with an XML/XSLT solution. Yeah, this was a long time ago.
Last month I used html-to-pdfmake [1] and it's also not very precise and more fragile, but very efficient and fast.
Yet another approach would be to pro grammatically generate .rtf files (for example) and use Pandoc [2] to produce PDFs (I have not tried this in production but don't see why it wouldn't work).

Others have mentioned static site generators. I like Hakyll [1] because it can tightly integrate with Pandoc [2] and allows you to develop custom solutions if your needs ever grow.

Pandoc
I have used it to kickstart a blogging project that I wish to come back to soon. The Lua inter-op for custom readers, writers and filters is great but I wish there was more editor integration and even perhaps an official IDE/editor with built-in debugging features (probably something already do-able with Emacs but I haven't checked). The only blocker for my project is no support for "ChunkedDoc" for Lua filters [1] which forces me to write more code and a complicated Makefile.
