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.

The Magic Nix Cache
You may find something like node2nix helpful (https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix). This converts your package.json into a Nix expression that can then be cached. You're right that it does require some setup and a bit of Nix knowledge but could yield significant benefits and take a good chunk out of that 20 minutes.
Another option might be to use pnpm instead of Yarn and cache your pnpm dependencies. pnpm actually works a bit like Nix in that it creates a pnpm-lock.yaml file with content-based hashes for the full package.json dependency tree. This enables it to quickly determine which parts of the dependency tree it needs to build and which are already available.

how to install Mozilla's readability library?
As Gerschtli commented, it may be possible to generate a Nix expression for @mozilla/readability using node2nix. Then get its node_modules path like this and set NODE_PATH to the value.

How to install dependencies with Nix?
For node programs, you may be able to find the commands as just packages, or look at https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix for creating the nix equivalent of a node-modules

Override `nodePackages' with the `default.nix' from `node2nix' multiple times
I've been writing some library routines, builders, and fetchers over the last few months that you're welcome to take a look at to fill gaps in a few existing tools. It's a work in progress so read it with a grain of salt. I plan to release some of it soon as flakes and plugins for dream2nix. https://github.com/aameen-tulip/at-node-nix
