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.

Announcing diff.rs!
It works by fetching a crate's metadata from crates.io, downloading the sources using reqwest, uncompressing them using flate2, extracting them (using tar), and finally rendering a diff (using similar). In the UI you can switch between different versions of the crate to diff against and it also has a search bar to enter the crate name.

An image compression algorithm written entirely in Rust (help and contributions appreciated)
Thanks for that Tip. I tested it with the default values of this implementation, but it actually performed a lot worse than deflate.
