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.

For a beginner, when do you look at the “next steps” like deploying?
Use a library likepython-decouple to separate secrets like DB_xxx, SECRET_KEY, etc. Then follow this deploy to Digital Ocean. It might be slightly out of date, but I'm pretty sure it'll work just fine.

Django defaults that will kill your project
I wish Django was more "12-factor" compliant by default. Reading secrets from environment variables should be a first-class citizen and it's not. I typically use python-decouple (https://github.com/henriquebastos/python-decouple/) for that but it would be great to have it as default.

How to deploy the Front-end(React) and Backend(Django) with Postgres at Heroku
python-decouple: We can remove sensitive data like SEECERT_KEY, DB Password from settings.py and add it in .env file.

A complete guide to organizing settings in Django

I’ve been using this for a while and it seems to solve this pretty well.
I use python-decouple with django and it’s solved this pretty elegantly. A dotenv file for local and env variables for production. Isn’t that the 12 factor recommendation?

Searching Tweets Using Twitter API
First, about the libraries that will be used, there will be three: Python Requests, json and Python Decouple. Python Requests will be responsible for carrying out the HTTP requests, json will help handle the responses obtained for the .json format, and the Python Decouple library will assist in the separation of the authentication from what is in the code.

Setting up Django in a Better Way in 5 Minutes and Understanding How It Works
This Django Starter kit takes care of automated creation of virtual environment and installing of Python packages and setting up the database with bash scripts. In addition to PostgreSQL and TailwindCSS, all the sensitive values are taken care of in a .env file using django-environ package. The virtual environment is maintained using pip-tools.

Tricks for starting a new project
I used to do this but recently switched to using environment variables and now prefer this approach. Essentially you keep the single settings.py file that is generated with startproject, and use os.environ or os.getenv to set certain settings. Check out the FeedHQ settings.py for an example. I use direnv to automatically set my environment variables on my local machine, but django-environ is a popular alternative.

Switch between development and production
You might want to use django-environ package for this issue. Create a .env file in the project folder and follow these steps.

Six things I do every time I start a Django project
You could also use just django-environ package to both import config from .env and set a database url instead of using 2 dependencies. I also think of a couple things I could add to the list, maybe I should a write a blog post as well?

A complete guide to organizing settings in Django
Docker does not do any quote parsing. For this same env file, it will set the value of the variable to `"foo"` (retaining the doublequotes in the value).
Bash, of course, requires quotes if the variable contains any special bash characters (for example, literal JSON with curly brackets), but its quote handling is much more complex. django-environ doesn't interpret bash code; it just does simple quote chomping.
There's no reliable .env syntax you can use that works in all 3 of django-environ, Docker, and bash; and any variable that should start and end with quotes that are not stripped off can't be expressed in a way that both Docker and django-environ will read in the same way.
This may seem like a nit-picking edge case, but it's indicative of the design philosophy in django-environ of trying to be "helpful", but in ways which lead to subtle confusion. The way it guesses the path to your `.env` file is another example.

The community writ large is already using django-environ to solve the problems you faced.
This isn't wrong advice but their tone of authority seems a bit misplaced.
1. Make settings.py a package
2. Please do not put anything more than imports in __init__.py since you are adding logic downstream.
3. Use django environ https://github.com/joke2k/django-environ
Now you keep your .env files, keep your setting overrides (settings/base.py, settings/local.py, etc) when needed AND you have defined a schema with non-string types for your environment variables.
From the readme:
env = environ.Env(
