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.

Unix Structured Concurrency
This sounds like a really good pattern, and something that deserves to become a modern standard (like https://no-color.org/).
I feel like this should be made opt in somehow. If you are a noninteractive process and stdin is a tty then you probably shouldn't be swallowing input. I frequently blind-type the next command while a long running command is active, because well behaved noninteractive programs don't swallow input from stdin.
- Command-line software which adds ANSI color to its output by default should check for a NO_COLOR environment variable that, when present and not an empty string (regardless of its value), prevents the addition of ANSI color.

Fulfilling a reader's request for my โdot filesโ
Some of us prefer tools which work best without them.
Allow me to repeat my plea for CLI developers to take a little time to read https://no-color.org and ensure their programs honor things like NO_COLOR, npm config set color false, TERM=dumb, INSIDE_EMACS etc.

Show HN: Tailspin โ A Log File Highlighter
Probably not as efficient, but I've been happily using grc [0] for the past several years. It handles simple rules quite well - beyond the basic info/debug/error coloring I use it for QOL such as different colors for even/odd timestamps and highlighting decimal places in large numbers.

Is there a program that formats the output of another programming using custom formatting rules?
A fairly simple program which only colorizes is grc. I wrote acolor in a similar vein, but it uses arbitrary programs/scripts instead of pure regex, and I've only written support for the programs I use, so no tcpdump. Don't use it unless you want to write your own colorizing scripts (if you do, please contribute!)
