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.

Wikipedia of Algebraic Geometry Will Forever Be Incomplete. (2022)
The Stacks project is meant to be a comprehensive Bourbaki-style textbook, not an encyclopedic survey, so the Wikipedia comparison is a miss. (The WP has a textbook level of detail on some topics, with proofs and examples, but these are few and far between and come from enthusiastic editors going above and beyond the WP's declared goals.)
Stacks is not finished, however -- still a lot of "Proof. Omitted.". From what I understand, the goal is to fill them all in (otherwise there would be references to the literature in their stead), but ultimately it is still mostly a one-person project (see https://github.com/stacks/stacks-project/graphs/contributors ).
I once filled in one of those missing proofs, only to see Johan replace it by a much better one that I would never have thought of. And this was (for him) a technical lemma, not one of the crown jewels of the project. His dedication to the project is truly incomparable to anything except Bourbaki and Serre. And the usefulness of the work extends far beyond algebraic stacks.

Ask HN: What are some well-designed websites?
Personally, I love the Stacks Project webpage (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/); they way it is laid out, the font, the seamless integration of LaTeX in the test (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/0A2U) has made me rethink mathematical text for the web.

Tree linking all math concepts together?
For algebraic geometry, there is the Stacks project online, which builds up all mathematics needed to understand algebraic stacks, from foundations. This time, foundations truly mean its basic axioms. Everything is proven except maybe with a few exceptions in the introduction, and everything has links. As such, it is a monstrously large project (the pdf-version is around 7500 pages iirc). This one is I think among my suggestions closest to what you had in mind. The only thing is that it again only focuses on one area of math.

LaTeX for books?
Some famous collaborative books: * https://github.com/HoTT/book * https://github.com/OpenLogicProject/OpenLogic * https://github.com/stacks/stacks-project * http://math.uchicago.edu/~amathew/cr.html

What are the subfields of algebraic geometry?
There is not really one good reference for algebraic geometry (even the EGA, SGA, FGA series, and that's assuming you can even plough through them all), but the Stacks Project (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/) is at least very good for CAG.

Comprehensive math education
The Stacks Project is a massive project covering algebraic geometry. The nLab is a wiki that covers a staggering amount of material from its own, rather specific, point of view.

I finished Hartshorne… now what?
Well, I talked to a friend who knows a lot of AG. He recommended "learning some things in topology like model categories" and discouraged learning about infinity categories without other stuff. Also, if you're interested in stacks, try the Stacks Project?

Found a little gem online. Do you know other gems that are worth mentioning?
For more specialized and advanced interests, The Stacks Project is mindboggling how in-depth it is. Once you know how to read it, it can be pretty useful. The LMFDB is also good for stuff regarding elliptic curves, L-functions, and modular forms.

I rewrote my CV in Typst and I'll never look back
You may want to try https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic, which downloads files from TeXLive on-demand.

bard 2.0
v2 has improved TeX engine lookup, improved PDF template look&feel, proper support for MS Windows (where it comes integrated with the Tectonic engine) and a few more new features.

[Media] Version 0.3 of Inlyne - An interactive markdown renderer written entirely in Rust
There's https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but I think the issue with that idea is that sure, you can re-implement TeX (it's sufficiently simple) in Rust and then run LaTeX packages on top of it, but then you're back to LaTeX and all its weirdness so you haven't really gained anything compared to LaTeX itself.

Arch for science
In terms of TeX, I would recommend taking a look at tectonic, a self-contained TeX distribution that auto-installs packages you need when you need them, and “just works” when you call the binary to compile… Because screw messing around with package managers, CTAN and XeTeX. I’ve been using it for around a year and it’s so much easier than any other TeX distribution.

Porting Python reportlab code to Rust
For example, you can have your main application in something like Deno/Node/python that acts as a server, and then delegate the actual pdf generation to tectonic (https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic) or Typst https://typst.app/blog/2023/beta-oss-launch/

Brian Kernighan adds Unicode support to Awk (May, 2022)
It's sad that Tectonic conversion to Rust[1] was never finished. For now it's just a wrapper around C and C++ code. By far, it was the most promising thing in this distribution.

LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?
The only thing I've seen is https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic but that's an actual re-implementation of TeX Rust.
