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.

Thanks. I dug around for the answer I was looking at.

A Critical Analysis of the What3Words Geocoding Algorithm
Pluscode is a trademark. The actual standard is called "open location code" and is unrestricted - https://github.com/google/open-location-code/

Evaluation of Location Encoding Systems
Yeah, that seems like a bad design choice. If you look at the spec [0], you can see that they only use "23456789CFGHJMPQRVWX" in the codes. They apparently scored the letters based on how well they can spell 10000 words in 30 languages, without thinking about character similarity. If they had involved actual humans instead of counting letter frequency, they might have noticed that the letter W looks similar to VV, and that its English name is "double U". And tried a letter like N or Y, which would be much harder to confuse.

In Hangzhou, China, there is a building that houses over 30,000 people.
Lots of thoughts from the founders incl comparison with other systems here: https://github.com/google/open-location-code/wiki/Evaluation-of-Location-Encoding-Systems

Houses having names instead of numbers.
I wish https://plus.codes/ took off. The benefit compared to what 3 words is that you can use the closest city to give directions and cells next to each other share the bigger cell name.

r/Starlink Questions Thread - March 2022
New to this so sorry if this is stupid. I've been trying to use https://plus.codes to try to check an address for availability at starlink. Whatever code I put in, it simply tells me afterwards "please enter an address or a plus code". That website seems to give me either a shorter or a longer plus code. Neither of them seems to make the starlink website happy. When I try putting in the address, it doesn't like that either. Confused on where to go from here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing starlink-coverage and open-location-code you can also consider the following projects:
h3 - Hexagonal hierarchical geospatial indexing system
starlink-grpc-tools - Random scripts and other bits for interacting with the SpaceX Starlink user terminal hardware
