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.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
There's more! I keep a list of interesting "bases" A select few:
- base 58 - Satoshi's/Bitcoin's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding#Base58
- "base62" - Keybase's saltpack https://github.com/keybase/saltpack
- The famous "Adobe 85" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85
- basE91 - https://base91.sourceforge.net
At work we defined several new "bases" for QR code. IMHO, it is an under applied area of computer science.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
The authors have created a specialisation for Postgres that leverages a custom type which is a tuple of type and uuidv7: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/sql/typei...
This is more optimal for Postgres while making it slightly more difficult to interop between the db and the language (db driver needs to handle custom types, and you need to inject a custom type converter).
And while there are hacks you can do to make storing uuid-alikes as strings less terrible for db engines, if you want the best performance and smallest space consumption (compressed or not) make sure to use native ID types or convert to BINARY/numeric types.
