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.

Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support
I imagine a lot of this comes down to personal preference. In the early days of Mountaineer (gee, almost two months ago at this point), I played around with the idea of embedding html into python instead of needing a JS layer. Eventually my consensus was:
- The most extensive typehinted approaches typically end up wrapping JS/React components anyway (like Reflex/Pinecone)
- We really need better IDE support for html strings that are within python strings. The editing problem is a big setback.
The ergonomics of Python + JS in separate code files won out and the user experience has been better than forcing them both into a common language would be.
This has the benefit of leveraging whatever the two languages are best at, in native code, so you have access to all the native APIs without having to learn a shim on top of it. Way more longevity to that approach too. Context switching between two languages isn't that bad if you minimize the glue layer that you have to write between them.

Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support
It feels weird at the beginning, but after a bit of practice I found it pretty nice to write HTML in Python.
Here is an example of a HTML page layout written with the DOMinate [1] library for example, in a "JSX-like" way:

It may hurt your eyes at first sight, for sure... But similarly to technologies like Tailwind CSS, it's mostly a matter of getting used to it - and after a while it end ups feeling very natural to use :-)

Show HN: ZakuChess, an open source web game built with Django, Htmx and Tailwind
The characters' graphics come form the open source game Battle For Wesnoth.
I'm afraid my skills in terms of design are rather suboptimal, so the quality of the design is... well, let's just say it's playable ahah
The whole thing is open source: https://github.com/olivierphi/zakuchess#readme
What are some alternatives?
