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.

ProtonMail Is Inherently Insecure, Your Emails Are Likely Compromised
If you trust them with your keys, why not trust them with your plaintext? At which point, why bother with E2EE at all?
The answer should be "because one day web browsers will be able to pin specific versions of specific web apps, with specific hashes, corresponding to specific releases tagged in their repo, which have been audited by a certain threshold of auditors that I trust".
What that looks like in practice is probably some mixture of the following projects:

Solving Open Source Supply Chain Security for the PHP Ecosystem
Generally speaking, Transparency Logs for securing software distribution has been a research topic since around 2015, I also wrote my master thesis on the subject.
Sigstore is a Transparency Log intended for provenance and software artifacts which has support for a few different build artifacts. The container ecosystems also appears to be embracing it.
Cool practical example is pacman-bintrans from kpcyrd that throws Arch Linux packages on sigstore and (optionally) checks each package for being reproducible before installation.

https://www.sigstore.dev/
I think this is generally useful for a lot of ecosystems indeed, and it's cool to also see similar scoped projects pop up to address the these issues.

I Love Arch, but GNU Guix Is My New Distro
Reproducible builds are an important part of efforts to secure the software supply chain. Ideally you want multiple independent parties vouching that a given package (whether a compiled binary, or a source tarball) corresponds to a globally immutably published revision in a source code repository.
That gives you Binary Transparency, which is already being attempted in the Arch Linux package ecosystem[0], and it protects the user from compromised build environments and software updates that are targeted at a specific user or that occur without upstream's knowledge.
Once updates can be tied securely to version control tags, it is possible to add something like Crev[1] to allow distributed auditing of source code changes. That still leaves open the questions of who to trust for audits, and how to fund that auditing work, but it greatly mitigates other classes of attack.

CII' FOSS best practices criteria
It's good that having a reproducible build process is a requirement for the Gold rating, as is signed releases.
Perhaps there needs to be a Platinum level which involves storing the hash of each release in a distributed append-only log, with multiple third parties vouching that they can build the binary from the published source.
Obviously I'm thinking of something like sigstore[0] which the Arch Linux package ecosystem is being experimentally integrated with.[1] Then there's Crev for distributed code review.[2]

Thousands of Debian packages updated from their upstream Git repository
> Of course, since these packages are built automatically without human supervision it’s likely that some of them will have bugs in them that would otherwise have been caught by the maintainer.
Human supervision isn't enough to protect the supply chain, and I can't think of a time that it's actually stopped an attack at the packaging stage, but having some extra "friction" in the process seems like it should be a benefit. Ideally an attacker would have to get past both the upstream author and the Debian maintainer, rather than these being two separate single points of failure.
Fortunately the Debian project is improving the situation with regards to supply chain attacks by continuing to work on Reproducible Builds. I think the next step from there needs to be Binary Transparency, with the adoption of the sort of approach being trialled by Arch Linux:

Open Cart Vulnerability Discussion on GitHub
The maintainer is apparently infamous for lashing out against people trying to report potential vulnerabilities.
He had a similar attitude all the way back in 2014:

Experience Hassle Free Managed OpenCart Cloud Hosting
OpenCart is one of the best FREE and open-source Ecommerce platform that offers many features, such as:
-
E-commerce site suggestions for 5-10 products.
Maybe open source solutions like https://www.opencart.com/ or https://prestashop.com/ ?
-
How to aproach making a site for a toy library the best ?
If you don't care about the Framework, I would recommend Opencart https://www.opencart.com/, it uses an internal Microframework, in general it is basically pure PHP with little dependency, with that it is one of the best in performance and ease of customization, being 100% modular.
- On-Prem Open source software for selling to staff?
-
SaaS eCommerce platforms
In comparison to a SaaS eCommerce platform, a self-hosted solution requires more technical skill and maintenance; however, it is the most flexible option for those looking for complete customization capabilities. Self-hosted solutions do not have any limits and the website can be tailored in many different ways. Examples of self-hosted eCommerce websites are Uvodo, Magento Enterprise Edition, OpenCart, WooCommerce, and PrestaShop.
