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.

I worked at LastPass as an engineer. My 2 cents on the situation
Because I always want to identify the solution when we point to the problem:

How should I encrypt files for sharing over the internet?
If you're not looking to share files but instead need a full communications protocol, the question gets more complex. TLS is the most commonly used encryption layer, and lots of other protocols use TLS to encrypt their traffic. In the rare cases where it's not suitable, the Noise Protocol Framework works to design a secure protocol for the necessary uses.

help with Monocypher on an embedded system
TLS Client Authentication formalizes this, as do several patterns in the Noise protocol framework.

When To Roll Your Own X
As you now know, I have implemented a whole cryptographic library with a similar API to Libsodium’s. In addition I’ve worked on authenticated key exchange (similar to Noise), as well as PAKE (symmetric and augmented). And I’ve realised that the whole NaCl family of libraries, including NaCl, Libsodium, TweetNaCl, and Monocypher, are all too low-level for regular people to use safely.

Tim Cook revealed the real reason Apple won’t add RCS to the iPhone
Many other messaging apps use a separate client/server encryption protocol for this purpose. Several use TLS. The WhatsApp Security Whitepaper notes they use the Noise protocol when the client is a mobile device.

Mega: Malleable Encryption Goes Awry
What are real world implementations of the Noise Protocol? https://github.com/noiseprotocol/noise_spec/blob/v34/noise.m...
Quick search shows WireGuard protocol, but I am not sure if how much of the WireGuard protocol is the same as the Noise Protocol.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:
Croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc
Magic-Wormhole: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)?
scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s.
What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

File transfer solution on a high-latency link
Check out wormhole. It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, keeps your data entirely on the private network and uses HTTP as the underlying transfer vehicle. Since HTTP isn't nearly as bothered by high latency (as compared to SMB or FTP), this is probably as fast as you will be able to transfer files on that high latency network.

0x0: Share Files from Terminal
I prefer bashupload.com or transfer.sh for this. Both alternatives have worked well for me.
Alternatively, you can check out magic wormhole (for a more secure transfer of files between two terminals): https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
