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.

Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
Literate Programming is one of those ideas I keep coming to. There is an idea there that touches on something I find to be true about software development, namely that the communication of an idea to other humans is the most critical piece. There is a similar idea in Naur's paper "Programming as Theory Building."
That said, I've never loved the LaTeX-centric nature of most tools. I don't like heavier markup systems while I am writing prose, which is why I wrote SpiralWeb (https://github.com/michaeljmcd/spiralweb) as a Pandoc/Markdown centric tool.

Noweb – A Simple, Extensible Tool for Literate Programming
Here are a couple more projects that may or may not seem like Literate Programming, but are motivated squarely by its ethos: to order code for exposition, independent of what the compiler wants.
* https://github.com/snaptoken, the engine behind https://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo. The key new feature here seems to be that fragments are always shown in context that can be dynamically expanded by the reader.
* https://github.com/jbyuki/ntangle.vim -- a literate system that tangles your code behind the scenes every time you :wq in Vim or Neovim.
* My system of layers deemphasizes typesetting and is designed to work within a programmer's editor (though IDEs will find it confusing): http://akkartik.name/post/wart-layers. I don't have a single repo for it, mostly[1] because it's tiny enough to get bundled with each of my projects. Perhaps the most developed place to check out is the layered organization for a text editor I built in a statement-oriented language with built-in support for layers: https://github.com/akkartik/mu1/tree/master/edit#readme. It's also in my most recent project, though it's only used in a tiny bootstrapping shim before I wormhole solipsistically into my own universe: https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/main/tools/tangle.readme.... Maybe one day I'll have layers in this universe.
[1] And also because I think example repos are under-explored compared to constant attempts at reusable components: http://akkartik.name/post/four-repos
