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.

Ask HN: What products other than Obsidian share the file over app philosophy?
FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.
https://fsnot.es/
todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.
http://todotxt.org/
And of course pretty much all of *nix.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!
-
Looking for a note taking app with inline tags.
That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

Using Acme with Inferno's Shell as a pkm tool
For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.
-
Looking for PC and mobile "to do list" software
The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.
-
Yet another To Do manager written in BASH. Simple and colorful.
Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

TaskTXT The Todo List for Hackers
Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

Wish to start cli apps development
There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.
What are some alternatives?
Perlite - A web-based markdown viewer optimized for Obsidian
taskpaper.vim - This package contains a syntax file and a file-type plugin for the simple format used by the TaskPaper application.
vscode-todo-md - VSCode extension for Todo tracking based on "todo.txt" format.
taskwarrior - Taskwarrior - Command line Task Management
voiceliner - Braindump better.
org-caldav - Caldav sync for Emacs orgmode
excalidraw - Virtual whiteboard for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams
MarvinAPI - API documentation for the Amazing Marvin productivity tool
api-playground
github-orgmode-tests - This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files
