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.

Supabase – General Availability Week
hey hn, supabase ceo her
we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])
we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]
the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.
on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

The Many Ways Not to Build an API
If you use PostgreSQL and are proficient with using its row-level security feature, you can choose from several tools/services built above RLS, including Supabase, PostgREST, and PostGraphile. They all provide a way to expose database CRUD as a web API, assuming you've configured the RLS rules to properly secure the access.

Build a simple project management app with Neon, PostgREST, and DigitalOcean

Single Software Developer Projects
SupaBase is entirely based upon PostgREST. In fact, PostgREST is arguably 49% of their value proposition according to their own website. The other 49% is PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL of course is a super mature database, and some would argue the best RDBMS on the planet, so let's ignore that part for a moment, and consider it a mature thing and move on to PostgREST.

Use PostgREST and HTMX to Build RESTful APIs from PostgreSQL Databases
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database into a RESTful API using the database's structural constraints and permissions to define the API's endpoints and operations. In this tutorial, you will create a simple note-taking app by leveraging PostgREST to construct a RESTful API for the app and using htmx to deliver HTML content.

We built our customer data warehouse all on Postgres
You might find some info in the docs of PostgREST [1] or in the previous discussions on HN about it [2].
For the versioning, I just have a git repo where I keep every role, schema, table, view, function, trigger, etc. definitions. Every time I change something in the database I first change it in the git repo too to have an history.
