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.

Full-Stack TypeScript with tRPC and React
Iโm one of the authors of Phero. Itโs goal is similar to tRPC: fullstack typesafety between servers and clients.
One difference is syntax: Phero leverages the TS compiler api to generate parsers for your backend functions. It will parse input and output or your api, automatically, based on the types you define for your functions. It will generate a declaration file of your api and generate an RPC style client SDK for your frontend. Another difference is that it aims to be more batteries includes.

No errors when fetched data is a 'string' even though interface property type should be a number.
Long story short: when fetching data, you should be validating the data, before casting it to a type youโre expecting it to be. There are a lot of different approaches for this, but being the go-author my favorite would be Phero (https://phero.dev). With this, you can build your API in typescript as well, automatically generate a client for your frontend to call the API. Phero will make sure all data is correct in runtime, automatically.

Best schema validator for intellisense performance?
For those looking for an alternative: Definitely check out https://phero.dev. As the co-creator Iโm totally biased of course, but thanks to its build-step IDE-performance is great ๐๐

If you haven't worked with TypeScript yet it's a good time to get started now. I prepared an intro that covers the most important points to React with TS. Including a few embedded exercises for you to practice.
You can use Phero. You can use it on your backend and frontend. It basically created a typed API from your backend afaik

Ask HN: WebSocket server transforming channel subscriptions to gRPC streams
* Additionally, client can stream data to the backend server (if bidirectional GRPC streams are used). I.e. client sends WebSocket messages, those will be transformed to GRPC messages by WebSocket server and delivered to the application backend.
As a result we have a system which allows to quickly create individual streams by using strict GRPC contract but terminating connections over WebSocket transport. So it works well in web browsers. After that no need to write WebSocket protocol, client implementation, handle WebSocket connection. This all will be solved by a suggested WebSocket server and its client SDKs.
The mechanics is similar to Websocketd (https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd), but instead of creating OS processes we create GRPC streams. The difference from grpc-web (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web) is that we provide streaming capabilities but not exposing GRPC contract to the client - just allowing to stream any data as payload (both binary and text) with some wrappers from our client SDKs side for managing subscriptions. I.e. it's not native GRPC streams on the client side - we expose just Connection/Subscription object to stream in both directions. GRPC streams used only for communication between WebSocket server and backend. To mention - grpc-web does not support all kinds of streaming now (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web#streaming-support) while proposed solution can. This all should provide a cross-platform way to quickly write streaming apps due to client SDKs and language-agnostic nature of GRPC.
I personally see both pros and cons in this scheme (without concentrating on both too much here to keep the question short). I spent some time thinking about this myself, already have some working prototypes โ but turned out need more opinions before moving forward with the idea and releasing this, kinda lost in doubts.
My main question - whether this seems interesting for someone here? Do you find this useful and see practical value?

Introduction to gRPC
gRPC is mainly used in server-to-server communication, but it can also be used in client-to-server communication. gRPC-web is a gRPC implementation for web browsers. It is a JavaScript library that allows you to call gRPC services from a web browser. It supports Unary and Streaming Server API calls.

gRPC vs REST: Comparing API Styles in Practice
Since we're using Envoy, there's one more neat trick that we can employ. It turns out that Envoy also support gRPC-Web out of the box, a JavaScript client designed to support gRPC communication from the browser! That means that we can send gRPC messages over HTTP/1.1 as base64 encoded strings or as binary protobufs. Messages will be sent through our proxy and on to our backend service. The advantage of this is smaller and more efficient wire communication which should lead to better performance.
