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.

Swift for windows - current state and how to get aboard
For jumping abord, there are not very many frameworks for UI development. There is https://github.com/compnerd/swift-win32 which is less WinForms and more Common Control based. There were a couple of different attempts for WinRT to get XAML based UI systems. There was no official support for UWP, and that would likely require some tweaks to the runtime.

Swift outside the Apple ecosystem
Even Microsoft has someone dedicating their time to building Win32 support.

Writing on Windows -> Compile on Mac workflow possible?
Swift does run on windows now. There’s also a package that lets you use Win32 to write GUI apps (https://github.com/compnerd/swift-win32). The core code (data models, networking, etc) can be common, but UI will have to be different (Win32 on windows and AppKit/Catalyst/SwiftUI on Mac)
-
UIKit on Windows?
As others have mentioned, UIKit is an Apple framework and not available on Windows, though you should be able to use the Win32 APIs to build out UI interfaces. Alternatively, you can experiment with https://github.com/compnerd/swift-win32 for a nice layer on top which abstracts out some of the details of the Win32 API. Unfortunately, that is not as fleshed out as one would like to build complex applications, but that is something which more usage and work on library should be able to resolve.
- Swift on Windows
- When I think of Swift I immediately think of iOS programming/mobile programming, What else can Swift do?
-
Are there any libraries for building Windows apps or GUI for Windows using Swift only?
For native apps, there's this, which gives an AppKit-like interface to build GUIs.
-
Any good open source projects that uses Swift?
If you’re looking for Windows first projects with Swift, https://github.com/compnerd/swift-win32 is pretty cool.
-
Why learn Swift when it’s only compatible with iOS?
Also check out this project by a member of the Swift core team, which is a set of bindings for the Win32 API for Swift on Windows.
