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.

Mark Nottingham: Server-Sent Events, WebSockets, and HTTP
Here is an event stream abstraction that has very strong semantics (exactly once in most cases) with simple usage examples, native HTTP and websockets APIs, strong atomicity and durability guarantees [1].
What it doesn’t have is clustering and a father that’s != null at marketing =]

ZooKeeper-free Kafka is out. First Demo
Hi Alexander ! I'm a big fan of the work you do at vectorizedio and of your blog posts ! I strongly believe there's a need for much simpler event streaming and room for improvement performance-wise.
I took a different path by divorcing from the Kafka protocol and experimenting with what I believe is a simpler to model approach to reliable event processing [1].

Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more
I just founded a company where we're building a cross-platform native desktop app. Perhaps given we're on HN we can scope this to ask why aren't any _startups_ building native desktop apps?
It's something I wonder about as well. We're building real-time performance critical software, so we don't have much of an alternative. Given these constraints, we also ruled out Electron, Avalonia, React Native early on.
We're using Qt Quick which doesn't get nearly the love it should. I was a web developer for 5 years in a past life, and I'm pretty blown away by how pleasant and well-designed Qt Quick's QML language is. One of our team members created Canonic, https://www.canonic.com to explore how the web might look if QML was used as the document markup for the web.
The popular opinion around Qt Quick is that it is best suited for mobile or embedded projects with a dynamic UI, animations, etc. But over the last few years, it has really become a great desktop solution – to the point where Qt put Widgets into maintenance mode and is focusing efforts on Qt Quick across desktop, mobile and embedded targets.
With Qt 6, the GUI is drawn using native graphics acceleration: Metal on macOS, DirectX11 on Windows, Vulkan on Linux. This makes it really easy to bring in a texture you're drawing in some other piece of code outside of Qt. As a result, the QtMultimedia framework in Qt6 is zero-copy on most platforms with the FFmpeg backend. Frames get decoded if a GPU HW decoder is available, then this texture can be read directly by QtQuick and then rendered by the display server without ever being copied. I don't think there's a single other cross platform framework out there that achieves the same level of usability, performance and easy access to platform native APIs.
Here are just a few non-trivial desktop apps that come to mind using Qt Quick:

I heard you like browsers. So I built a browser that runs in your browser via WASM (for QML instead of HTML)
Here's the website if you want to test it out: https://www.canonic.com

A Response to Rich Harris
No, the end goal is to have an entirely separate browser which browses website built with all instead of html / js / css ; since Qt compiles to WASM it's a simple way to try it but the actual thing exists as a standalone desktop app: https://github.com/canonic/canonic
