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.

OpenSCAD Survey - What should be improved ?
A measuring tool has been worked on, here is the github issue: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/3638

OpenSCAD Survey - what programming language do you want to be added to app?
There is a lot of work going on for adding Python. Guenther pushed a PR with code from PythonSCAD . It is under technical review - design, api and code. https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4880 this is the tracking bug.

PSA: Try manifold and report bugs!
Short edges (e.g. due to very high $fn) can cause bug in the triangulator, there is a fix for this but is not ready for merging. (https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4679)

anyway to change the default "render complete" chime?
Found this, not sure if it's useful: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/ac1d89f2381f8d4b6eaf0492c8ba1666d7d7f393/sounds/complete.wav

Show HN: Atopile – Design circuit boards with code
Great question! We hope we have a few good reasons.
This iteration of the project actually came after first working with and then modifying another awesome project called SKiDL (https://github.com/devbisme/skidl).
It's based on Python - but we found that because since it's procedural, turing complete and has a rich eco-system - people use to that and there aren't standard composable ways of designing things. Instead of describing your board, you (practically) write a script that generates your board. It entangles your targets with your source-code and can make it difficult to understand the ultimate outcome of what you've written.
Additionally, since it's a potentially very long program, it was hard to write good language support around (a language server for VSCode, a schematic visualiser etc...) that were snappy, responsive and lent to examining modules as well as the whole program.
There's a few operators and first-class language features we wanted as well, like units and tolerances (3.3V +/- 100mV) that just aren't the same when embedded in a string, or class init method.

Text only PCB CAD tools?
there is skidl for schematics, but yeah shit was hand drawn before GUIs.

What needs to happen for ChatGPT to start generating visual answers like electrical schematics?
Further, there are many python libraries etc which can be used to design electrical circuits using code: https://github.com/devbisme/skidl

The tooling ecosystem that adds joy to KiCad
I'd like to see documentation on your workflow. You can also post it on https://github.com/devbisme/skidl/discussions.
There is a generate_pcb() function in SKiDL that will output a kicad_pcb file that can be directly opened using PCBNEW (no need to generate the intermediate netlist file). That function uses HierPlace to group the parts based on their hierarchical organization. That would be a good place to inject some autoplacement if you get it figured out.

Wiring Tool
If others are interested in this and wireviz they might also like to know about https://github.com/devbisme/skidl. Used to make schematic specification in python.

Python & EE
Kinda off topic, but there's this project called skidl https://github.com/devbisme/skidl allowing you to create electrical schematics using Python. It seems to council your two interests, maybe for a fun side showoff project.
