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.

'No Problem' Word Processor Poses a Problem for Former President Carter (1981)
I've found looking at commit counts is never very good for judging project activity, at least if they don't squash-merge all pulls. For example there can be pages of one liners
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commits/trunk/?after=c8...
One pull as opposed to zero indeed may break the inactive barrier but probably good not to read too much into commit counts graphs.

The biggest blocker to LibreOffice adoption? LibreOffice
Better isn't just one dimension but I've repeatedly heard that OO is a damn dumpster fire for loading untrusted content: https://www.openoffice.org/security/bulletin.html vs https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/security/advisories/
Them both being written in a memory unsafe language[1][2] isn't helping matters
Also, while digging up those links I noticed the last release of OO was in Dec 2023 which is a lot of time for all the components they bundle to acquire vulns. But at least they're consistent about it since the release before that was in Feb 2023

From License to Freedom: Embracing Open Source Forks Knowing What to Expect
Another prominent example is LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Fearing that the stewardship of OpenOffice might suffer under Oracle, the community forked the project to create LibreOffice, which has since become the more popular and actively developed office suite.

It's time to let go, Apache Software Foundation
> It looks like most of the recent commits are done by someone as mostly a way of learning and not for the sake of the project itself.

From that link:
> Most of the commits here seams to be mainly white space changes to random files.
I'm guessing is not "learning" but more of an attempt to game GitHub (e.g. rack up a lot of commits to an impressive-sounding project).

I am setting up my daughter's first PC. Please help
OpenOffice is a bit outdated and it's updates don't really update anything if you check the git commits. There is however FreeOffice and OpenOffice, both really good options that look almost the same as MS Office

LibreOffice 400M Downloads, and Counting
In true hackernews fashion I'll mention their competitor as my personal preference. Their editors are IMO much faster and slicker. I have very light document needs and this other open source software suite serves me very well. Although I appreciate libreoffice, I never did like using it.

ZetaOffice: LibreOffice in the Browser
That's excellent! You guys should interact with Nextcloud or someone should try their hand at a Nextcloud App [1]. Nextcloud's solution to Google Docs & friends is via the integration of OnlyOffice[2], which requires a DocumentServer [3] to function in the context of Nextcloud. Even without the collaboration aspect, having LibreOffice work off WASM, without any extra infrastructure requirement would be an excellent edition to that ecosystem I think.

Ask HN: Why hasn't OnlyOffice see higher adoption than LibreOffice?
Had never even heard of it.
And their website doesn't help at all - https://www.onlyoffice.com/ - At first, I thought it is selling some kind of add-on for Businesses to use with Microsoft Office. Then I clicked "Get it now" and saw a page that gives me options to download a Docker Image, or Cloud Images or VM Images. What the heck? Then I see the "GET OnlyOffice" link in the navigation menu and go to it - the menu pop-up talks about DocSpace, Enterprise, Workspace etc. etc. and asks to sign-in for cloud. Again, what the heck?? Then I go to the PRODUCT link that also pop-ups lot of options - like - Doc editors to integrate into your business platform .... ??? Then I see the "Desktop and Mobile Apps" option in it and click 'For Desktop'. And finally, here I found what I had been searching for - Get free desktop office suite for document editing and collaboration ( https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx ).
When a website is designed to be "Enterprisey" - only targetting and catering to a particular audience, and totally ignores everyone else - I am not surprised it's userbase is limited.

OnlyOffice: Free open source office suite with business productivity tools
https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer/issues/19#issue...
> @ONLYOFFICE, FYI to add bidi-directional support (LTR, RTL and mixed) in Web interface is as simple to add to element dir=auto.
> If I remember correctly, they are using canvas with custom rendering logic. Hence many native browser capabilities might not be available.
Oh, jeez, why? I want to install this just to point a screen reader at it and watch the havoc. Maybe they got that figured out but good lord...
