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.

Smartphone sales are so bad even the holidays couldn’t help, says IDC
I guess that wouldn't be convenient because they'd have to press several buttons. Possibly also Airdrop is faster? It uses direct wi-fi transfer (and bluetooth at the same time, somehow). Seems there are open-source reverse-engineered implementations written in C and Python: OWL in C, OpenDrop in Python.
- An open Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) implementation written in C

AirDrop for Android
The only working airdrop compatible is opendrop which makes use of AWDL reverse engineer OWL

An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
Nope, it depends on this project and they specifically mention that WSL doesn't work because they need direct access to Wi-Fi card.

AirDrop Anywhere – Making it work on Windows
"it is unlikely that a non-Apple device has hardware support for adhoc wireless connections between devices. This makes implementation of AirDrop directly on non-Apple devices practically impossible without additional hardware. Instead we’ll implement a proxy..."
I get what they mean here, but it has been done. It does require a Wi-Fi card with support for monitor mode and frame injection. OWL did it with an Atheros AR9280.

Channel selection in a mesh network
There’s an open source implementation called OWL — https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl — it’s experimental, requires certain features to be supported by the wireless driver on Linux and no support for Windows.
