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.

Take Advantage of Git Rebase
GitLab team member here, putting my personal hat on - from my experience in using different Git workflows since 2009, a smaller clean unit of work can with debugging and troubleshooting. It also provides a way to new team members and contributors to understand the thought process and ideation to implement a new architecture, apply performance fixes, add documentation, work with tests, additional fixes, until its final release. Most of this can be tracked within a MR/PR and the history of code reviews, etc. - even after the merge and squash and Git branch delete, not trying to argue with this functionality. :)
From the Git CLI, without any reference to Git* platforms, it is not so obvious when searching for a commit that introduced a bug, e.g. using "git bisect" for binary search. Reading a 10,000 lines git diff can be harder than a smaller commit that also explains the reasoning in the commit message. Speaking from own experience and programming mistakes in a small team, focussing on clean commits and a good history tremendously helped in stressful debug situations. Until you hit a compiler regression bug, but that's a different story then ;)
I'm personally still very fast on the Git CLI, but I also know that there are a variety of CLI and UI tools out there that can help with analysing large Git commits. Potentially in the future also AI assisted that tell us which change a diff caused a performance regression in a release 5 months later. Or we don't need it at all because Observability driven development enabled to see these problems before merging and code reviews, e.g. the memory leak but only when DNS fails. True story from ~2016, more in my KubeCon EU talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkREMg8adaI and project at https://gitlab.com/everyonecancontribute/observability/cpp-d...

Show HN: My new free note taking tool
GitLab team member here, thanks for sharing!
I'm using the Web IDE to take notes in most of my projects, work and personal, and publish the notes with MkDocs and GitLab Pages to a searchable frontend/domain when needed. Editing also happens in Gitpod with live preview in the browser.
You can find all resources for o11y.love [0] and opsindev.news [1] in the GitLab projects, including .gitpod.yml configuration, mkdocs.yml setup, .gitlab-ci.yml deployments.
I have been writing lots of documentation in my past OSS projects, so I am used to Markdown as markup language, taking notes very fast. Learning Markdown requires some practice, and can be helped within Gitpod and the VS Code extensions, if the default preview is not sufficient. [2] [3] You can also sync the notes repository offline into VS Code as desktop IDE for example.
Using Obsidian.md to take notes and publish with GitLab pages [4] looks promising too; I have not tried it yet.

Atlassian prepares to abandon on-prem server products
The search works great. I'm using MkDocs with Material as my personal handbook because of the simplicity -- for example, I usually remember great articles in conversations but always forget their location. Since I started writing my newsletter https://opsindev.news/ including an MkDocs web archive, I can share interesting URLs way faster :) Or let folks discover it by themselves, using the search.
Configuration in https://gitlab.com/dnsmichi/opsindev.news/-/blob/main/mkdocs...
Material for MkDocs also has an insiders build, accessible through sponsorship. https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/insiders/ These features add more value to MkDocs -- I initially joined to get GDPR-compliant cookie banners and stayed to support a great project.

Thanks for flagging. opsindev.news is hosted on GitLab Pages using Let's Encrypt. Maybe the TLS ciphers or versions do not match. Which error message do you see, browser/OS and location may help (if you want to share)
If the MkDocs website does not work, suggest the following workarounds: Newsletter issues in [0] as markdown files, example [1] or the newsletter archive on Buttondown [2].
I'm using Buttondown to send the newsletter, MkDocs serves as web-searchable archive. Kudos to Michael Hausenblas here for the idea, he publishes the o11y.news newsletter.
