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.

What happened to tink?
In short, Kat left npm at some point in 2019 after a whole debacle with leadership. For a while they were working on orogene with a couple other ex-npm people, but nothing came out of that. It's really a shame because it looked really promising and they had a lot of cool ideas.

I'd love to use Bun for my projects, but it's not integrated into Corepack yet (and therefore you cannot pin the bun version w/ checksum in package.json)

Every NPM package potentially compromised
Recently Node 16 LTS cycle started. One month and a few days before the carry-over, a super controversial package titled `coredeps` [0] was officially declared a core module and has been bundled with all official distributions since.
The NodeJS team refuses to discuss NPM because it's a separate 3rd party. And yet.... this NodeJS Core module comes pre-installed as a global NPM package.
We're just getting started.
This module installs or even reinstalls any supported package manager when you execute a script with a name that would match any that they'd recognise. Opt-in for only a short period, and intending to expand beyond package manager installations.
Amidst all that's been going on, NPM (Nonstop Published Moments) is working on a feature that silently hijacks user commands and installs foreign software. The code found in those compromised packages operated in a similar manner and was labeled a critical severity vulnerability.
The following might actually make you cry.
Of these third party remote distributions it's downloading, the number of checksum, keys, or even build configurations that are being verified is 0.
The game that Microsoft is playing with their recent acquisitions here is quite clear, but there's too much collateral damage.
