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.

Muon: GPU Based Electron on a Diet
I do care, and in your example, it depends on what license the project uses and how "proprietary_library" is distributed.
In this specific case, Muon cannot be GPL'ed, for example, because it distributes a copy of Ultralight [1] and Ultralight has a proprietary (incompatible) license [2]. For a license like MIT or BSD, I think applying that license is technically valid, bug again, not very practical. I doubt Muon would make it into the OpenBSD repos, for example. Its distribution is hindered by the depedency.

I have created a home cloud project, for sharing files across your devices on the same network. Please do check it out and star it if you like the project. There are more features yet to come which I have planned. Thank you
I've never tried it but DeskGap lets you build a desktop app like Electron, but it uses your existing installed version of Chrome instead of bundling it's own Chrome engine inside the app so it keeps it much more lightweight. Might be interesting for you https://deskgap.com/

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
> I kind of wonder why it took this long for someone to try this approach. It just makes a whole lot more sense on the surface.
Like other replies have mentioned, it's not a new idea
DeskGap uses the native OS Webviews. https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/
Electrino (4 years old) was an experiment where they forked Electron and removed Chromium to replace it with the native OS Web views. https://github.com/pojala/electrino
Quark is a fork of Electrino: https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark
There's also a way of building desktop GUIs using Deno, which uses Deno Webview, which is a binding for the same webview library that Tauri uses.

What are some alternatives?
libsamplerate - An audio Sample Rate Conversion library
neutralinojs - Portable and lightweight cross-platform desktop application development framework
cmake-cookbook - CMake Cookbook recipes.
memoryjs - Read and write process memory in Node.js (Windows API functions exposed via Node bindings)
AppInitHook - Global user-mode hooking framework, based on AppInit_DLLs. The goal is to allow you to rapidly develop hooks to inject in an arbitrary process.
wry - Cross-platform WebView library in Rust for Tauri.
lfbb - A Lock Free Bipartite Buffer Library written in standard C11
graderjs - 💦 Turn your full-stack NodeJS application into a downloadable cross-platform binary. Also works for SPAs, or regular web-sites.
app_timer - Friendly, lightweight, hardware-agnostic timer abstraction layer in C. Use a single timer/counter source to drive many timed events.
Wails - Create beautiful applications using Go
Unity Test API - Simple Unit Testing for C
revery - :zap: Native, high-performance, cross-platform desktop apps - built with Reason!
