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.

Sharing resources by queuing jobs
If you want something quick and janky, I suggest nq. It's stupidly simple and lightweight; it just requires that everyone is running as the same user. And only lets exactly one job of any kind run in a given queue. There's basically zero configuration; just nq , and it'll either start running , or will wait its turn.

Looking for recommendations on my ssh tmux &| tee workflow
For your ad-hoc uses, I would introduce nq. It's an extremely lightweight queuing system, which gives you two things with minimal overhead:
-
Run script in background conditionally and killing background process it started
I'm already aware of alternatives which I will consider (at, nq, snooze, but I still want an accurate lightweight CLI stopwatch/timer app and the script otherwise works well--this is more of an exercise on understanding background processes and could be handy in other scripts. Or if the attempt is considdered hacky and ill-advised, I'm curious of an alternative implementation. I just feel nothing is more simple than a very lightweight C-based timer app that exits 0 after specified time has elapsed and don't want to run a cron job or even a while sleep 1 loop for a reminder (sleep isn't even a builtin...).

Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
Interesting project. Unfortunate that its name conflicts with one of nq’s executables (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/nq), but I’m not sure anything can be done about it.

Tool to queue tasks and add/remove them?

Redo: A recursive, general-purpose build system
Not impressed by shell incantations. What would sell such a tool to me is a feature to replace those with new and more intuitive syntax.
Holding on to how things are done in the shell is not a thing to be proud of. I think a lot of us around here stopped counting the times we got tripped by globbing, forgetting or misplacing one special character in a ${} block, or quoting.
Let those monstrosities die already. Please.
There's this tool -- https://github.com/ejholmes/walk -- that is pretty good and I liked it but dropped it for the same reasons: it leaves the heavy lifting to you and it depends on your mastery in the black arts.
Now obviously I'm not managing huge projects but nowadays https://github.com/casey/just serves me just fine for everything I need.

Nq – a simple Unix job queue system
Check out walk[1]. It does exactly this. Lets you define a graph of dependencies in any language of your choice.
