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.

Text-to-CAD: Risks and Opportunities
It seems a bizarre statement to state that OpenCASCADE isn't fully capable. Its the only OS licensed kernel that'll read a STEP file. Also "modern foundation" is a misleading statement, any CAD kernel bearing any kind of relevance seems implying a codebase that's been around for a quarter century. Like it or not OpenCASCADE is the hand that was dealt. I've worked with the technology [1] extensively and it provided the underpinnings for a startup I've founded [2]. pythonocc is the bees knees, it allows you to develop a proper CAD app. Don't take my word for it, but see also the many publications that have built on the tech [3]

PicoGK is a compact and robust geometry kernel for Computational Engineering
Small in a relative sense compared to some larger codebase.
Here's a bit on Manifold:

and the author's blog is interesting:

C++: The Most Important Complexities
Our project https://github.com/elalish/manifold made use of this to speed up mesh processing algorithms a lot.

Text-to-CAD: Risks and Opportunities
Wondering why no BRep support means it is not a CAD. It seems that OpenVSP doesn't use BRep but uses parametric surface [1]. I wonder if mesh-based modeling + some constraints solving will get you a CAD, or are there other requirements that I don't know? I only work on mesh processing library on my free-time and I don't know much about BRep.

My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards ⌨
Unhealthy relationship with keyboards? Comparing with the r/MechanicalKeyboards or r/ErgoMechKeyboards people this relationship is more like divorced...
I added python binding and ended up being on of the devs for https://github.com/elalish/manifold because OpenSCAD is too slow for my modeling (I am quite impatient). Optimizing my keyboard for months with more than 5 complete rebuilds to optimize my design (looks like this: https://i.redd.it/xtf0f54mt7ya1.jpg), and is afraid of open sourcing it because my code looks too bad :(

OpenSCAD's Web Playground got upgraded (still Alpha)
Now much faster and more stable thanks to the Manifold engine (https://github.com/elalish/manifold): in fact it is often faster than the last stable desktop release from https://openscad.org/.
Also much better code completion, and ships with a few examples from the various bundled libraries to get you started.

When I place down a CSGPolygon3D in this shape (haven't tried other shapes) it always opens a portal to hell, and it's not just in the editor, it's in the game too. Does anyone know what I can do about this?
At the end, they gonna replace it with ( elalish manifold.
