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.
rage
- Do any libraries exist for zero-trust file storage (storing client-encrypted data on the server without the key)?
-
JSON compression in the browser, with gzip and the Compression Streams API.
I have already built this into a small feature in my app, but I do plan to integrate it deeper and bake it into the core functionality soon. Which should be another interesting problem to solve as the app has integrated client-side encryption using Age (rage (rage-wasm)). But that's for another day...

Age: Modern file encryption format with multiple pluggable recipients
_o/ hi all, age author here!
The OP link is the spec, here's a few other things you might find interesting

age.el: age encryption support for Emacs
I just added rage (https://github.com/str4d/rage) support, which does support pinentry, see https://github.com/anticomputer/age.el#known-issues for an example of how to use rage instead.
- Axcrypt -- or is there something better Reddit would recommend?

The PGP Problem (2019)
Really appreciate this article. It's a little snarky but it hits the mark and encourages people to try Age, which is a pretty awesome little tool.

Ask HN: What does everyone use for encrypting their personal stuff?
I'm not convinced that whole-disk encryption is sensible for most threat models, but I use the built-in FileVault on macOS (under the reasoning that, at the very least, it can't really hurt).
On Linux, I use age[1] (specifically, rage[2]) to encrypt sensitive files. I wrote a secret manager that uses the latter as an encryption backend[3], and I use `rage-mount` to mount (read-only) views of encrypted archives.

LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
Some CLI alternatives if you don't need the GUI:
Croc: https://github.com/schollz/croc
Magic-Wormhole: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
I used to use MW but switched to croc as the single binary was easier to deploy.

Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?
On a similar note, can someone tell me what's the fastest (wireless) way to transfer files between two laptops on same network (i.e. hotspot)?
scp, rsync, wormhole give me only 2-3 mb/s.
What's causing the bottleneck here and what am I missing? Thanks in advance!

File transfer solution on a high-latency link
Check out wormhole. It works on Linux, Windows and MacOS, keeps your data entirely on the private network and uses HTTP as the underlying transfer vehicle. Since HTTP isn't nearly as bothered by high latency (as compared to SMB or FTP), this is probably as fast as you will be able to transfer files on that high latency network.

How do you/we share the stuff we hoard so those looking for stuff find it?
There's the python magic-wormhole if you want a 1-to-1 data transfer just to OP by sharing the info through a chat/dm/whatever.
- Web based file sharing

0x0: Share Files from Terminal
I prefer bashupload.com or transfer.sh for this. Both alternatives have worked well for me.
Alternatively, you can check out magic wormhole (for a more secure transfer of files between two terminals): https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
