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.

Zellij: a Rusty terminal multiplexer releases a beta
I myself use the many (alacritty) terminals + tiling WM solution at the moment (switching between i3wm and LeftWM) but it doesn't feel optimal. I always though tmux looked too involved to learn so I've been on the lookout for alternatives such as Wezterm (a terminal with built-in multiplexing), tab (a command line controlled multiplexer) and now zellij.

What's everyone working on this week (9/2021)?
Plus a lot of cleanup in the tab-pty-process crate. It now exposes an interface similar to portable-pty, but with non-blocking file handles.

My take on byobu, an easy to use terminal multiplexer
I ended up writing a terminal multiplexer because screen and tmux were too complicated to use. It has a built in fuzzy finder, stateless navigation, and YAML configs for persistent sessions: https://github.com/austinjones/tab-rs/

Actors with Tokio
The way I typically unify messages is define an enum, and map/merge channel receivers. tokio-stream would probably work with these examples. Here's an example from a fuzzy-finder implementation: https://github.com/austinjones/tab-rs/blob/main/tab-command/src/service/terminal/fuzzy.rs#L332

Terminal Multiplexers
Really nice cheat-sheet write up on screen & tmux & byobu.
Also worth checking out tabs-rs[1] which seems very well reviewed & recent.
Personally, I am a huge fan of dtach[2][3], which isn't a multiplexer, just a detachable proxier of terminal sessions. This let's me run a persistent vim session that I can reconnect to, and vim has however many terminals I need open in it. Vim does my multiplexing, dtach just allows me to make vim persistent. Very glad to have re-discovered dtach, to enable this workflow.
Notably dtach is very lightweight. Unlike tmux, it is not a virtual terminal. Upon reconnect to my vim session, I issue a control-l to refresh the screen. Dtach hasn't retained the screen state, isn't translating between terminfos. The one thing that can go wrong here is connecting from different terminals- few programs have a way to update the TERM setting once the program has launched.

Hurl 1.0.0, a command line tool to run and test HTTP requests
The nice thing about that is that many other tools can work too. Someone using direnv can set properties that would be available in the hurl script. Likewise, someone using tab could have environment variables defined for their active tab that could be used. If you invent your own notion of an environment, you lose interop with a lot of other tools that target the standard environment.

I wrote a terminal multiplexer called tab. It's designed to be intuitive, and config-driven.
Are you running v0.5.3? I just released a fix for a Kakoune issue that was caused by add-highlighter global/ number-lines -relative in kakrc. It sounds similar to what you described.

How To Write A Terminal Multiplexer With Rust
There are also some crazy ANSI sequences that cause the terminal emulator to write stdin - so applications can query the terminal state. Crazy stuff can happen when those sequences are copied from the scrollback buffer (which is why tab now filters them out).

Atuin β Magical Shell History
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Z β Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. Iβve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like βxonshβ. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

Organizing Multiple Git Identities
I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.
I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:
git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
