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.

Shots: Create Mockups
Also - the organizations that run the DNS servers of little top level domains are not necessarily competent. Back when I had a company on the .st domain, we had an 8-hour outage when something in their infrastructure broke and everyone in their organization was asleep:

What We Learned from Our Five Failed YC Applications and One Successful One
I would avoid all of the two-letter domain names. I suffered 8 hours of excruciating downtime back in 2012 when the .st nic went down:

I learned my lesson, I'll take the .com every time, even if I have to get creative with the name.

Nomad drained of $150m due to a coding mistake
This is untested on ETH PoS and could result in a significant loss in value for ETH holders. Not only that, but it gets even more complicated with stablecoins that are on ETH. What makes all of this quite interesting is the exchanges who get to decide which USDC on ETH they sell to you. Likely a big reason why exchanges, like Coinbase, are some of the largest ETH stakers.

"For the past two weeks, I've been targeted in an extremely thorough social engineering scam that nearly cost me all of my ETH. I'm super lucky to have made it through unscathed. Here's the story"
Even then, I wouldn't trust an automated system. Even expert humans can be stumped if you really work at it.

The Underhanded C Contest
There have been a couple of underhanded solidity contests (smart contracts on ETH), inspired by this.

Nice to people constantly putting the code examples to good use in real projects.

27th International Obfuscated C Code Contest winners published
It's great that this contest has been running for so long and still produces interesting new approaches, but I wish there were more work being done in the field of underhanded code contests, e.g. [0].
One area of technology that seems to have continued the work of discovering underhanded techniques is the realm of cryptocurrency, specifically the "Solidity Underhanded Contest". The results for 2020 are here[1], which links to (spoiler alert) a great trick on line 65 here[2] (select the line character by character with a mouse to reveal it).
