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.

New crate: asserhttp
It is a simple trait providing many asserters. This trait is then implemented for many http clients: reqwest, surf, isahc, hyper and actix.

Building static Rust binaries for Linux
This indicates curl, zlib, openssl, and libnghttp2 as well as a bunch of WASM-related things are being dynamically linked into my executable. To resolve this, I looked at the build features exposed by surf and found that it selects the "curl_client" feature by default, which can be turned off and replaced with "h1-client-rustls" which uses an HTTP client backed by rustls and async-std and no dynamically linked libraries. Enabling this build feature removed all -sys dependencies from androidx-release-watcher, allowing me to build static executables of it.

http client facade library?
https://github.com/http-rs/surf provides an abstraction over several backends, but forces you into async and async-std, and the abstractions it provides are very limited anyway.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
> If you are equally picky and constrain yourself to parts of the ecosystem which care about binary size, you still have more options and can avoid size issues.
What's an example of this for, say, libcurl? On my system it has a tiny number of recursive dependencies, around a dozen. [0] Furthermore if I want to write a C program that uses libcurl I have to download zero bytes of data ... because it's a shared library that is already installed on my system, since so many programs already use it.
I don't really know the appropriate comparison for Rust. reqwest seems roughly comparable, but it's an HTTP client library, and not a general purpose network client like curl. Obviously curl can do a lot more. Even the list of direct dependencies for reqwest is quite long [1], and it's built on top of another http library [2] that has its own long list of dependencies, a list that includes tokio, no small library itself.
In terms of final binary size, the installed size of the curl package on my system, which includes both the command line tool and development dependencies for libcurl, is 1875.03 KiB.
[0] I'm excluding the dependency on the ca-certificates package, since this only provides the certificate chain for TLS and lots of programs rely on it.

Signway - a pre-signed URLs gateway written in rust, specifically designed for allowing LLM based client apps to directly query OpenAI's api securely.
Using Rust here was immensely helpful, using libraries made by the community like https://github.com/hyperium/hyper really powered up the development of Signway, so glad to see this kind of awesome crates made public. Hope that it continues to be like that despite the current controversies.
