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.

Have you ever thought, how ‘nodemon’ works internally? Let’s build our own ‘nodemon’ in under 10 minutes!
This post resonates with me, considering that I've written kind of alternative to nodemon too recently: https://github.com/fabiospampinato/monex

Setting up Subpath Import Aliases in a TypeScript Project
For other tools, you should check their documentation on custom conditions support. I've tried to run my project with tsx. As it supports all Node.js flags, I've just provided custom condition via -C flag:
- TypeScript Execute (TSX)

Effortless API Testing: Node.js Techniques for Next.js Route handlers
Luckily, this is a very common thing and Tsx, a can help us with this. We simply have to import this module and we'll be able to execute Typescript code with Node.js:

Using TypeScript in Node.js projects
Next, we need to set up a development script that will watch for changes in our TypeScript files and recompile them. Personally, I like to use tsx, as it provides a much faster development experience compared to the built-in TypeScript watcher or ts-node. First, install tsx:

Making Eleventy Data Traceable with TSX and Zod
At this point, you will have a setup which relies on tsx to understand TypeScript, and jsx-async-runtime to understand JSX/TSX templates.

Finally, a guide for Node.js and TypeScript and ESM that works
I really enjoy frontend/node/typescript development. I roll my eyes whenever the HN-types complain about CSS or frontend development being a hellhole. Mostly the comments I see seem ignorant or impatient ("Why doesn't this thing work without be bothering to learn it?")
However, the intersection of typescript, nodejs, and ES modules is consistently the most frustrating experience I ever have. Trying to figure out which magic incantation of tsconfig/esbuild/tsc/node options will let me just write code and run it is a fools errand. You might figure something out, and then you try to use Jest and then you descend into madness again.
The biggest tip I can give people is to ditch ts-node and just use (the awkwardly named) tsx https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx, which pretty much just "mostly works" for running Typescript during dev for node.
The problem mostly seems to stem for all the stakeholders being pretty dogmatic to whatever their goals are, rather than the pragmatic option of just meeting people where they are. I really wish the Node, Typescript, Deno/Bun, and maybe some bundler people would come together and figure out how to make this easier for people.

ERDIA: TypeORM entity specification documentation tool
If your TypeORM entity is written in TypeScript, you have to run ERDIA using ts-node or tsx as follows.

xtsz - a TS / JS file runner with support for HTTP/S imports
Want to import a package / file conveniently from esm.sh or unpkg or directly from a GitHub repo for a one-off script (for example). To do this I created a custom ESBuild plugin to handle HTTP imports - that worked for ,js files. To support running both ESM and CJS, I use tsx.

What is your must have npm package on any given project?
I prefer tsx honestly. Nodemon will detect that your using TypeScript and switch from node to ts-node but tsx is a no config necessary version of ts-node that also runs faster. Of course you can configure ts-node to use swc to be faster but then you're playing with config files to get things working.
