The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Problems flashing custom firmware to the nice!nano
I'm compiling a very stripped down example from https://github.com/embassy-rs/nrf-softdevice that should just loop forever and turn an LED on and off. I convert from a binary to the uf2 using this script linked in the adafruit bootloader repository. The command I run is uf2conv.py -c -b 0x26000 -f 0xADA52840. When running file on my binary the output is UF2 firmware image, family Nordic NRF52840, address 0x026000, 42 total blocks, exactly the same as on the ZMK image that works without a problem.

Flashing OpenThread on Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express
If your thing has some sort of bootloader already, use a flashing tool that's compatible with the bootloader - https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader or dfu-tool perhaps?
