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.

From Datalog to SVG
This is really neat. Reminiscent of how drawio.com can embed the source inside exported PNGs (see also https://github.com/Fusion/pngsource)
I would love to see this approach extended to add some animation too.

Sciter, the 5 MB Electron alternative, has switched to JavaScript
I see, in this thread, talks about what Sciter does and does not offer.
It's not the only alternative to Electron, but it might be one that offers predictable and repeatable results.
I released a small open source project on HN last week (https://github.com/Fusion/pngsource) and I wrote its backend logic in Go. I built the frontend using Tailwind (https://tailwindcss.com) and DaisyUI (https://daisyui.com) and, using Go compiler flags, I can release the app using both WebView (github.com/webview/webview) (which, yes, does require the host OS' collaboration) and Wails (wails.app) (which also does.)
On Linux/AMD64, the binary's size is 3.7M when building for WebView, and 6.8M when targeting Wails.
The way the app works is I drag/drop files to the UI, magic happens, and I use github.com/ncruces/zenity to prompt the user for a save location.
I cross-compile the apps using xgo (https://github.com/karalabe/xgo)
It's been working pretty well on Linux, Windows, MacOS. I think WebView's approach of limiting the feature set is working well as it feels more "native" than Wails (better refreshes and resize operations for instance)
However, I already have a few tickets reporting that, for instance, the app is displayed as a blank window in some environments. And it's hard to debug remotely, obviously. So, this is where Sciter may be a better option.

Sciter, the 5 MB Electron alternative, has switched to JavaScript
> we can't take some well-tested, used-by-millions library
You can.
Here is an example of Sciter application that uses RemarkableJS library (https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable) as it is:

BREAKING!! NPM package ‘ua-parser-js’ with more than 7M weekly download is compromised
Since then they've made things that are IMO quite useful, like enquirer, micromatch, and remarkable.

Sciter officially switched to JavaScript
mdview (sources) uses RemarkableJS for MD->HTML conversion.

Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust
will give you split-view out-of-the-box. But web dev's will start looking for frameworks in order to achieve this simple task that browser have internally already.
TL;DR: Web and desktop UIs use inherently different models. You can share parts between these two different platforms but only parts, really.
