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.

Introducing ROSboard: Visualizations in the web browser
I’m the author of ROSshow (GitHub - dheera/rosshow: Visualize ROS topics inside a terminal with Unicode/ASCII art 3), which lets you visualize ROS topics with ASCII art.

Telnet Mapscii.me
I do something very similar in ROSshow for NavSatFix (GPS) messages: https://github.com/dheera/rosshow
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/raw/master/screenshot3.png...
It also has a pure ASCII mode:
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow/raw/master/screenshot3-asc...
Unfortunately this utility isn't really usable outside of the context of robotics and ROS but one could extract the map rendering functionality and create a separate utility out if it if they wished.
The main difference in approach between this and Mapscii is that I actually just convert raster map tiles from OSM instead of using the vector data.

Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
I built a visualization tool for ROS topics that uses Braille to achieve a dot-based interface in the terminal:
https://github.com/dheera/rosshow
I imagine a lot of it could also be re-used in creating terminal dashboards for other purposes.

I miss Turbo C, I've never used such a fantastic IDE again. It could include assembly commands directly from C code, it had a powerful graphics library for the 80s. in forty years I've used many languages, environments, frameworks... but I still miss the simplicity and power of Turbo C under MS/DOS/

Lesser Known Terminal Editors

Building Rich Terminal Dashboards
Show them this, too:

Applications like tvedit were designed for MS-DOS, which offered full interaction with the mouse and keyboard, and many of them were commercial products aimed at a general audience. TUI applications from the Unix tradition, however, were designed for use in terminals with limited capabilities, and were aimed at more technical users (or were created by the users themselves).
User-friendly TUI applications in MS-DOS were succeeded by Windows applications, while the largest revolution in the last 20 years in Unix TUIs has been the widespread support of 256/24-bit colors and UTF-8. Hence the gap in usability between the two worlds.

An experimental text editor based on Scintilla and Turbo Vision
Scintilla provides a few default platform adapters: GTK, Qt, Win32, etc. In order to have it work in a terminal application, I just wrote my own adapter.
