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.

Finally, a guide for Node.js and TypeScript and ESM that works
Many people in this thread are rightly complaining that this does not answer the "why does this work". Having a working example is a good start for that though as at least you have a known target and as you change things (and break things), you can see what those options did.
One problem with this guide that makes that trickier is that the tsconfig.json itself imports https://github.com/sindresorhus/tsconfig/blob/5c87dc118e057d... and overrides a bunch of values.
So if you really want to understand what it's doing, you need to get rid of that dependency and inline / merge that config file. That would also add stability to your project as it's one less upstream dependency out of your control (and a big one at that as it controls how you entire project is built!).

Finally, a guide for Node.js and TypeScript and ESM that works
Love this project, used it quite a bit. However I always opt for using esno[1] instead, merely because of the name; having two tools share the same name throws me off.

The esm/cjs situation...
Next, I thought well nx is not gonna work for now, so let's keep looking for an alternative to ts-node. Oh look, there is this https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx. It natively understands path aliases, no need for any flags. Oh wait...it doesn't do any type checking like ts-node. WHAT? why would anyone execute typescript without type checks during development?.

TypeScript tooling and ecosystem
For just running Typescript files you have (both for dev and prod) https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx with command is generally easier then using ts-node + some file watcher or compiling to js

PSA: Speed up your ts-node command with a simple --swc flag
I've been using tsx, which is like ts-node except it uses esbuild under the hood. It's been pretty great. Super speedy.
