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.

How to add coding projects to Github portfolio?
You can create a repo at https://github.com/simonw/simonw (only using your username twice) and the README.md file in there will be used to populate your profile page.

Should i keep my forked repos after contribution if i want to use github as resume ?
I'd leave the forked repos there, and then use pinned repositories on your profile to highlight the repositories you are most proud of. You can also use a personal README to customize your profile - I have one here for example: https://github.com/simonw

How to Build a Dynamic GitHub Profile with GitHub Actions and PHP
As I was browsing examples for some inspiration, I stumbled upon Simon Willison's version, which features some dynamic content like recent work and blog publications. He explained how he used a combination of GitHub Actions and Python to achieve this in a blog post, and I decided to do something similar with PHP.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I have 112 mostly-maintained released project listed on https://github.com/simonw/simonw/blob/main/releases.md now - most of which are tools for loading data into SQLite database files (a surprisingly under-served use-case given how ubiquitous SQLite is) and plugins for my https://datasette.io/ project for reading data back out of SQLite again.
I realized a few years ago that SQLite was the perfect tool for doing data analysis at the small-data scale, where small data is less that 10GB which is pretty much everything you might want to analyze - especially for personal projects.
So I've been building tools to fill that niche!

Pkl, a Programming Language for Configuration
I'm really enjoying reading through the docs and the tutorial. We've created Lowdefy, a config web-stack which makes it really simple to build quite advanced web apps. We're writing everything in YAML, but it has it's limitations, specifically when doing config type checking and IDE extensions that go beyond just YAML.
I've been looking for a way to have typed objects in the config to do config suggestions and type checking.. PKL looks like it can do this for us. And with the JSON output we might even be able to get there with minimal effort.
Is there anyone here with some PKL experience that would be willing to answer some technical questions re the use of PKL for more advanced, nested config?

Show HN: Retool AI
Awsome! With Lowdefy we tried to build a low-code framework that works like code. We’ve developed a schema in which to define applications and we’ve built all kinds of apps for enterprise customers. Massive, advanced CRM systems, call centre solutions, ticketing systems, a light MRP, all kinds of survey apps and so many dashboards. Even our docs and our website are Lowdefy apps!
Give Lowdefy a try and reach out it you have any questions or want to see what is possible :) (We need to invest a lot more into content and examples, bootstapping is a grind!)

The Surprising Power of Documentation
100% this. And yes, good documentation takes a lot of investment but it pays off like compound interest. But with that done, it becomes even more important not to pull the carpet for no good reason, you are building a tower and documentation is at the foundation.
We’ve built Lowdefy [1] as an open source project and documented it with all effort, 200 pages of docs. I often forget why or how something works and then jump to the docs. This investment keeps on paying of as we use Lowdefy to build customer apps, new devs in the team typically take less than two week to get up to speed and start making contributions, the sharp ones, just a two or three days.
This year, we’re extended our documentation onto customer apps aswell, with flow diagrams, state machine definitions, detailed field level explication schema definitions, and end user test procedures. The key here for this documentation is detail. It should be easier to reach for the docs and the the answer, than to dive in the code and interpret it.
