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.

Mnemonikey | Determinstic PGP key recovery using phrases | v0.0.1 prerelease published
As far as I'm aware, Mnemonikey is the first of its kind, rhyming only with the related but conceptually different passphrase2pgp tool, from which I drew my original inspiration.

OpenPGP master key on Nitrokey Start
I think people should seriously consider using something like passphrase2pgp [0] in addition to a hardware key like this. That way you can have a brain key (hopefully generated with diceware or equivalent) to tie together day-to-day keys like this to a more permanent identity. I'm honestly surprised that strategy is not more widespread.

Seeking feedback: mnemonikey - Determinstic backup and recovery of PGP keys using human-readable phrases.
Check out Chris Wellons' tool passphrase2pgp - it does exactly what you're describing by hashing an arbitrary input passphrase with Argon2.

pass: password manager for true geeks. Control everything yourself, sync among devices, enjoy your security. Cheat sheet for setting it up
So the easiest way to synchronize gpg keys I found is https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp - it generates a deterministic gpg key (also ssh keys, x509 certificates...) from a passphrase. Excellent tool

I've locked myself out of my digital life
One way to circumvent this is to use a strong passphrase to deterministically generate the PGP/SSH key [1] to unlock other passwords. The SSH key could grant access to a remote server with backups and the PGP key could decrypt passwords using pass [2].

BIP 39 mnemonic phrase to GPG key?
I know there are tools that can generate GPG from arbitrary inputs, but what I'm really looking for is something with direct compatibility with BIP 39 or (BIP 44) phrases in particular.

A GPG key derived from mnemonic phrase?
What if https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp is not obviously the software to use, or doesn't exist at some later point?

charmbracelet/melt: Backup and restore Ed25519 SSH keys with seed words
My own tool, passphrase2pgp works this way. It generates both OpenPGP and SSH Ed25519 keys from a user-chosen passphrase, and it's designed to send the key straight into the ssh-agent on demand.
-
Why did they do it this way?
Derive my keypair entirely from a passphrase, with generous key stretching. I never need to worry about backing up my keys. I later extended this idea to OpenPGP and SSH, where I also exclusively use passphrase-derived keys: passphrase2pgp.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
passphrase2pgp: for storing my PGP and SSH keys in my brain. Neither ever reside in permanent storage.

Mnemonikey: English phrase backups for PGP keys - v1.0.0 stable release
Today I finally tagged the v1.0.0 stable release of Mnemonikey: A PGP key backup and recovery command-line tool and Golang library.

Mnemonikey | Determinstic PGP key recovery using phrases | v0.0.1 prerelease published
The epoch has been bumped to New Year 2023.
The seed and creation time is hashed with Argon2id before deriving keys, to reduce the feasibility of a batched brute force attack.
I have published my first ever tagged release of Mnemonikey, a novel CLI tool and Go library which allows PGP users to derive their PGP keys deterministically from a seed which is exported as a phrase of 14 words for easy offline backup. This works much in the same way keys for Bitcoin wallets can be deterministically derived from a recovery phrase.

Seeking a robust English word-list of length 4096 for encoding
I have a system I am designing for which I want slightly denser encoding, and thus I need a larger wordlist. Full context here. I would prefer not to create yet another competing standard.
