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.

The Design Philosophy of Great Tables (Software Package)
Why do you want to render to canvas?
Perspective seems to be the most performant html table. It is more focused on extremely fast updates than styling, although it looks good.
Glide is a newcomer that also renders to canvas.

Show HN: WhatTheDuck – open-source, in-browser SQL on CSV files
SQL workbench also uses https://perspective.finos.org/ for tables. It's a WASM table library which pairs nicely with duckdb and works well with large tables.

Show HN: DataSheetGrid, an Airtable-like React component
I haven't looked extensively at react-datasheet. It looks like it is trying to build more of a full product than the other data tables.
I have used ag-grid extensively, its an impressive product. Some pieces are a little awkward to use, particularly auto-sizing. But generally ag-grid has thought of most functionality and has a solution. The creator of ag-grid had a great interview on Javascript Jabber [1].
The other serious data table component that I have seen is FinOS Perspective [2]. This is extremely high performance, also more specialized and probably harder to customize. I think Perspective renders to a canvas element from Rust/C++ compiled to WASM (not 100% sure). It is also made for streaming updates.
AG-Grid supports streaming updates... but only in the commercial version.
Eventually the data model for these types of tables becomes tricky. I will be investigating parquet-wasm for my use case. Hit me up if you want to collaborate.

ChDB: Embedded OLAP SQL Engine Powered by ClickHouse
Something like https://github.com/finos/perspective ? We use an OLAP(-y) WASM engine to provide query-ability to our data visualization tool, and doing the calculations in the browser is cheaper and simpler than a server-side database for datasets that fit in browser memory.

Show HN: Strada – Cloud IDE for Connecting SaaS APIs
Look very similar to the script builder portion of https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill, but not open-source, not self-hostable, and without open-source integrations (https://hub.windmill.dev/)

A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev
windmill.dev - Windmill is an open-source developer platform to quickly build production-grade multi-step automation and internal apps from minimal Python and Typescript scripts. As a free user, you can create and be a member of at most three non-premium workspaces.

Airplane acquired by Airtable and is shutting down
For an alternative to airplane.dev, you can checkout Windmill.
https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill
"Open-source developer infrastructure for internal tools (APIs, background jobs, workflows and UIs). Self-hostable alternative to Airplane, Pipedream, Superblocks and a simplified Temporal with autogenerated UIsm and custom UIs to trigger workflows and scripts as internal apps.
Scripts are turned into sharable UIs automatically, and can be composed together into flows or used into richer apps built with low-code. Supported script languages supported are: Python, TypeScript, Go, Bash, SQL, and GraphQL. "
If you search HN, you'll find the creator of Windmill comment on comparisons to airplane.dev:

Looking for an e-commerce multivendor platform for 10million+ products
I'm genuinely curious what server-side stuff on BC you are referring to. That may have been something added after our assessment. The way I'd generally approach something like that for any of the platforms would be using an external low/no code solution to process webhook data. But it would depend heavily on the use case. For a more developer friendly option I've been really impressed by windmill.dev. We use a mix of n8n and windmill for various needs.

Show HN: Windmill – fastest open-source workflow engine – the how
Yes it goes in that direction, however note that you can already do this in a not too hard way.
Our openflow spec is both open-source and has a full openapi definition: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/blob/main/openflow...
you can use that to generate client sdks in any languages and build your own dag with it. That's what one of our customer did building a reactflow to openflow library: https://github.com/Devessier/reactflow-to-windmill
It's not as good as the decorator way but we move fast and if you still have interest for it we could prioritize it (and ask for feedbacks :))

GitHub Actions Are a Problem
We have built an open-source generic workflow engine to run arbitrary scripts (https://windmill.dev) with a vscode extension to build the yaml using a low-code builder and each individual script in their dedicated python/ts files so you get your full editor assistants https://youtu.be/aSOF6AzyDr8?t=116
One of the area we are expanding next is a github app so you get exactly the same UX as github actions but running windmill workflows on your windmill workers.
