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.

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
I was using Nim for some of last years Advent of Code problems. I was mostly liking the syntax. Was a bit bother by the standard library have a snake case and camel case reference for each function (if I'm remember that correctly).
At the time nimble also required me to have NPM to install the the Nim package manager, Nimble. This was not ideal, but looking at [the nimble project install docs](https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#installation) it seems like it is now package with the language.
Might try dusting it off for some AoC puzzles this year :)

Question about nimble
I meant it's unfortunate that Nimble has no standard system-wide library management. It's one of the mains thing holding Nim back from being more prevalent in the Linux sphere in my opinion.

Alternative privacy-respecting front ends for popular services
`nimble` is the package manager for the programming language `nim` [1].
From [2], we can see that `nimble scss` simply generates the CSS files for the frontend.
The benefit of OSS is you can answer these questions yourself with a bit of poking around! IMO this is a fairly standard installation process, maybe the fact that it's using Nim instead of a more mainstream language makes it look more daunting than it is. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing here, IMO, is `nimble build` instead of `make build`.

Nim 1.6.2
Something I'm excited about: v1.6.2 integrates support for (not yet released) Nimble[1] v0.14, which introduces lockfiles. I've had terrible experiences with lockfiles in JS land, but they are sorely needed for Nim projects as (fingers crossed) they'll allow for reproducible builds without having to resort to the nimbus-build-system[2]. The latter isn't completely horrible — a lot of much appreciated hard work has gone into it, and it's been a real workhorse — but some days it feels like a big ball and chain.

What are some anti features in a language?
So you wouldn't have a problem with a package manager where the configuration is in the same language, such as Nimble?

What best IDE/editor for NIM now.
if you structure your project with nimble (which can be be used for both libraries and applications) you can use nimble build and nimble run. While I do use nimble for managing dependencies for projects I don't use these commands that often while developing, e.g. because I'm working on a single test or something like that.

Using Ruby
Having similar syntax to Ruby makes it easier to port Ruby code to Crystal (ex: digest-crc -> digest-crc.cr). The Crystal stdlib is very complete and they have a growing "shards" ecosystem, roughly the same age as Rust's https://crates.io or Nim's nimble. You should look into Crystal again.

LaTeX and Neovim for technical note-taking
I use Anki the exact same way. After a lifetime of learning I have accepted that I will never read over anything I write for myself voluntarily - so my two options are:
1. Write an article so good I can publish it and look it over myself later on. I did this last year with https://andrew-quinn.me/fzf/, for example.
2. Create Anki cards out of the material. Use the builtin Card Browser or even https://datasette.io/ on the underlying SQLite database in a pinch to search for my notes any time I have to.

Ask HN: What two software products should have a kid?
Browsing HN, GitHub and the like we get to see a huge variety of software products and code bases.
I often see products and think - if this product X, got together with Y, it would be pretty cool - kind of like if they had a kid together.
Not too literally, but more on the conceptual level - my level of programming is low.
E.g. Just some....

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
You might like the Datasette project: https://datasette.io/
I don't think they are desperate for contributions but it's a welcoming environment and a fun project to hack on. You'll learn a lot just from reading the source and the incredibly informative PRs. The creator is a really talented developer with a great blog which shows up on the HN front page often.
