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.

(Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
I would say a toy (or personal-use-only) password manager is a relatively simple project. If we are to forget about the GUI parts, you need to determine serialization of your password database (bincode + serde should be enough) and how to encrypt it. For the latter you need only two algorithms: a password hash for deriving encryption key from password and optional salt (the latter is usually randomly generated and stored as a "key file"), and an AEAD algorithm for encrypting and decrypting serialized database. There are certain pitfalls with encryption (e.g. you should not reuse nonce with the same key, especially with modes like GCM) and with properly erasing sensitive data from memory, as well as preventing it from leaking to things like swap, but learning about those is part of the learning experience.

PasswordRs 0.1.0 released (Rust NIF for password hashing)
I 'cheated' by forwarding everything to their separate Rust libraries which are maintained by https://github.com/RustCrypto/password-hashes . Ofcourse by adding the Elixir wrapper this could have introduced security issues (sadly I don't have enough knowledge about how NIF's handle memory ect. to test/check this myself)

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (1/2022)!
For password handling, I have had good experience with password-hash and the various algorithm implementations in the password-hashes repo.
