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.

Show HN: Make 3D art in your browser using Lisp and math
I've written a tool somewhat similar that can export meshes of sdf's created using a javascript api, check it out: https://github.com/stasilo/retrace.gl

There's also ImplicitCAD (https://github.com/Haskell-Things/ImplicitCAD) which produces STLs, as it is designed for CAD. It uses implicit functions, which I believe are similar to SDFs (I believe the idea is not to necessarily correspond to the distance function).

ImplicitCAD is essentially OpenSCAD with bevels.

OpenScad is great, but slow to render.
You might take a look at ImplicitCAD. It accepts OpenSCAD code (as well as some other more exotic formats) and can render much much faster depending on resolution. There's an online editor/renderer here that would tell you whether it can handle your existing code unmodified.
