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.

Current Issues with the Qt Project – From the Outside Looking In
That's exactly what we are doing with QSkinny: https://github.com/uwerat/qskinny, we have been using it for a customer project for years now...

Am I the only one miss C++ application GUI that is so much snappier and responsive than todays GUI framework such as Electron or others using python, JS etc?
Not really, or at least, not fully. The roadmap for Qt 6 somewhat vaguely intends to have a C++ API for Qt Quick Controls (now there is, but very limited and private with no compatibility, and ugly to use). I think they are seeing that QSkinny can take some market from them.

High performance pixel perfect applications. Qt vs wxWidgets vs GTK+
Do you think that an approach like QSkinny would work for you? I've not used it myself in practice (just running the examples, and looking at the code), but the idea of it is that it uses Qt Quick as a backend (so I guess in Qt 6 it would use OpenGL/Vulkan/Metal/etc as needed without you having to do the abstraction), and IIRC it uses some of the private APIs that Qt Quick Controls use as well for the C++ side. QSkinny doesn't require to use QML though (should be optional, but I think C++ is preferred/more tested). It has been said also that during the Qt 6 timeline, there might be a C++ public API for Qt Quick Controls.

Qt 5.15.3 Open Source released (1 year after it being commercial only)
It kind of is (with a 3rd party library). Or you can use the private API (which I would not recommend). A public C++ API for Qt Quick Controls is planned as well, but I'm not very optimistic on the time frame.

Deno in 2023
Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.
But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.
Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
