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.

Contract Testing?
So, why would you want a REAL server to mock request/reponses? You have a lot of intercepts today that sit on the network layer and you can define things like "If you send request to that endpoint, with that json, please return that Status" (for NodeJS example, Nock - https://github.com/nock/nock)

I made wirepig, a simple way to mock HTTP and TCP dependencies in tests.
That said, folks seem to like "recording" features in these sorts of tools (Ruby's VCR, nock, etc), so maybe there's a future where I add something similar. I've always just found the ergonomics of those features awkward to deal with, especially having to flip back and forth between tests and fixtures files to figure out what's wired to what, but maybe there's a clean solution... perhaps a "live request" mode that just prints mock code snippets of request/response pairs passing through your app.

Is there a better way to mock an axios call?
While not mocking per say I usually use nock for http calls. You can use nock.recorder.rec() to capture the http call to play back during test, That way you are always using "live" code but not making real calls to servers.

OSD600 - Telescope - Testing for feed URLs
I looked at the service which is used to get the feed URLs from a blog URL and noticed it takes the html response of the blog URL and gets the links ( tags) by checking the type attribute value against a list of valid feed values. So, I decided to use a similar approach by getting the html response for a provided URL and checking the Content-Type header against a list of valid MIME types for a feed. I ended up updating the logic to test if a URL is a feed URL, returning it if true. If the URL is found to not be a feed URL, it would try to get the feed URLs assuming the URL is a blog URL. I tested and confirmed that the new logic worked for both blog and feed URLs. Then, I added some tests for the new function I added to test for a feed URL. Testing this ended up being simpler than I expected as all I had to do was mock the response of a test url (using nock), and then check if the function returned the correct boolean value for a url. I created a PR and noticed that some of the tests in another file were now failing. While I was investigating this, I got a review on my PR, requesting me to add another test to the file which had the failing tests. That file tested the API service as a whole. I found out that nock only mocks a URL's response for one request by default. And since I was now checking for a feed URL as well, the function which returned the feed URLs from a blog URL was throwing an error since the nock for that was used up. To fix this, I had to specify in the nock statement to mock the URL response for two requests:

Axios shipped a buggy version and it broke many productions apps. Let this be a lesson to pin your dependencies!
There are libraries like https://github.com/nock/nock to prevent mocking the whole axios.

How to mock a useQuery in jest?
Going based off the documentation I sent you in my last reply, there is an example that uses nock to emulate api responses. I haven't used nock myself, but the example seems pretty simple to use. You just need to take the example and change the response object to be the shape of what your getStuffFromDatabase function returns. That way your useCategory function runs as close to normally as possible, while providing a mock response value instead of hitting the database.

Is it acceptable to use mock servers, like Postman, for testing in Android?
If you’re willing to venture into nodejs territory, then nock is a fantastic and simple to set up http mock server. https://github.com/nock/nock

Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain
This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate or https://github.com/Endava/cats are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing.

Lama2: Plain-Text Powered REST API Client for Teams
Congrats on the launch ! I'm the lead dev of [Karate](https://github.com/karatelabs/karate) and was wondering if you had come across it. I strongly agree that collaboration should be [via Git](https://www.karatelabs.io/first-class-citizens) and the IDE and traditional solutions fall short. I hope Karate's syntax passes your "memory friendly" test :) We get regular feedback is that it is easy to read and even non-programmers can pick it up. One thing I feel we do really well is chaining of HTTP requests. And we have plugins for [IntelliJ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/19232-karate) and [VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=karatela...).
Maintaining a tool like this as open-source is hard, all the best !
