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.

The culmination of several months of work by dozens of people, Flatpak 1.14.0 is now out!
There used to be a project called ginstall.sh that kept like, a manually maintained database of various projects with static binaries and how to install them. It still exists, but maintenance stopped because its model was also not sustainable. Its use case is better covered by tools like asdf, stew, and if you want to get even simpler, eget.

I made a tool to download and run popular CLI tools like youtube-dl, jq, and ripgrep without installing them
This is a recipe for a disaster. Just use Stew.

would be good if you added a comparison with https://github.com/zyedidia/eget on your repo

Asdf Performance
I'm a huge fan of asdf and have been using for years together with direnv! It's great to see how much effort is put into it! I hope more people adopt it so that we don't have to `curl | sh`! One thing I have issues with asdf is security as are no checksums, so, you if I project get compromised you'll get compromised, too. This, of course, is in addition to the third-party asdf plugin getting itself compromised (which is the greater risk). Last, but not least - I wish asdf came with something like eget [0] incorporated so that it can install 99% of the plugins directly and safely! Last, but not least - 99% of the plugins have almost identical code and all that changes is the repo, so, this should be generalized. For example, many years ago I made just one codebase of all HashiCorp plugins [1] and it's been working great!
