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.

Capturing the WebGPU Ecosystem
https://github.com/coconut-xr/apfel-kruemel works today, I only know about battery-optimized software in the context of games though.
https://felt.com/blog/svg-to-canvas-part-2-building-interact... and https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/ might also be of interest.

Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
Parts of Servo to enable the use of the GPU for compositing layers were merged into Firefox years ago.

It's a shame that Patrick Walton didn't get a chance to finish his work on the Pathfinder GPU renderer.
>Pathfinder 3 is a fast, practical, GPU-based rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics using OpenGL 3.0+, OpenGL ES 3.0+, WebGL 2, and Metal.

What do you believe Firefox is missing?
It uses too much CPU and performance leaves much to be desired compared to Chromium. They were going to use Pathfinder in Firefox to solve this problem, but since Pathfinder is discontinued due to the massive layoffs at Mozilla, the project was abandoned. And they need a replacement IMO.

Stereokit – open-source mixed reality library by Microsoft
I am not an expert in the area, just somebody who read up on it after realizing desktop in VR does not work out for me (and usually low res is not a problem).
I think something like https://github.com/servo/pathfinder (newer) and as you mentioned SDF (older) are the latest approaches.

PSA: OffscreenCanvas now enabled by default on nightly only
This is exciting! And, by the way, are you planning to implement something similar to Servo's Pathfinder in Firefox?

Getting into GUI: Shapes moving on networks
Also on my list was pathfinder. There the documented crate is vastly different from https://github.com/servo/pathfinder which looks much more promising – it comes with a few examples, some of wihch might help me get started, maybe?

I wrote a web based text editor to showcase sauron framework, but it turns out better than I expected, less than 20ms typing latency.
Don't forget gpu-based text rendering (e.g. #1, #2, #3). It's still in its infant stages, and seems to be mostly untouched over the past 5 years, but I suspect it will become the preferred method for rendering text later.

Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?

Is There An Algorithm To How Computer Cursors Highlight Text?
harfbuzz is a popular library for text rendering. You may also want to check out rustybuzz, a small subset of harfbuzz ported to Rust with pretty great documentation.
