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
This looks really interesting! I recently wrote[1] a pure C (no external dependency) version of coordination free, k-ordered 128-bit UUID Generator library which is inspired by snowflake but has bigger key space and few nifty features to protect against clock skew etc. The 128 bits are split into
{timestamp:64, worker_id:48, seq: 16}
where the seq if id is requested within the same millisecond.[1] - https://github.com/beyonddream/snowid

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.
