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.

Servo in 2024: stats, features and donations
I mean, most OSes already ship with a WebView component that you can use instead of shipping an entire browser runtime.
Wails does that: https://wails.io/
Tauri also does that: https://tauri.app/
That does help with the needed resources quite a bit: https://github.com/Elanis/web-to-desktop-framework-compariso...
Sadly it doesn’t change the memory usage much so the technology is still inherently wasteful, but on a certain level it feels like a lost battle - because web technologies often feel like the choice of least resistance when you want GUI software that will run on a bunch of platforms while not being annoying to develop (from the perspective of your run of the mill dev).

Open source alternative to Postman / Insomnia
HTML/CSS can still be used for the frontend even without Electron. Some frameworks use the OS bundled web renderer instead:

Things people get wrong about Electron
In the article, the claim is made: if many popular software products like Slack, VSCode, and Docker Desktop all use Electron, then it must be good.
In response, I would say: while Electron makes it easy for the software developer to build and distribute software, especially on multiple platform, as an end user it is NEVER the best experience.
That's why there are people spending significant effort to develop better solutions than Electron. For instance, the Tauri project ( https://tauri.app/ ) is a lightweight alternative to Electron.
The article defends the minimum application bundle size of 100MB-300MB is as no issue, because streaming 4K video takes much more bandwidth than such a software download. But the bigger issue than disk space or download bandwidth is the RAM usage and overall low performance of Electron projects. Even with a 16 GB or 32 GB RAM system, when you're running many apps and doing serious multitasking, the gigabytes quickly get used up and then things slow down.
For example, if you have used VSCode, try using the Zed editor (https://zed.dev/). You will be blown away by its incredible speed. Launches in the blink of an eye, and it responds to every input with zero latency. We have forgotten that software can actually be fast.

Chaski: A Feed Reader for 2025
Some time ago, I discovered how RSS works. I regret not discovering it sooner, and since then, I added it to my blog. Later, I looked for ways to follow different sources, and that's when the idea of creating my own application came to me. Before even asking myself, "What technology should I use?" I already had the answer: Tauri.

Show HN: Kando – Do things with utmost efficiency
Yeah, Tauri would be great. But I think it will take quite some time until the fundamental rendering performance issues [1] under Linux can be fixed. There seem to be rough plans to bundle CEF on Linux [2], but AFAICS this seems to be only a discussion at this point.
