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.

GraphQL vs. REST APIs: a complete guide
For JavaScript based projects TeleFunc[1] can make development way simpler by 'removing' the need for an API.

Next, Nest, Nuxt Nust?
- api routes (cloud functions) require another package (on purpose). see https://telefunc.com/ from the same maintainer
other than that, no gatchas i encountered. i would choose vite-plugin-ssr again.

Is there a library or a standard way of creating an interface for my api endpoints?
Another suggestion to solve your problem could be to use telefunc

Remote Functions. Instead of API

Exactly.

For real-time use cases, I agree. I believe functions are the wrong abstraction here for real-time. I do plan to support real-time but using a "it's just variables" abstraction instead, see https://github.com/brillout/telefunc/issues/36.
> cleverer abstractions usually mean more work overall to integrate everything and boring is better.
Yes, Telefunc's downside is that it requires a transformer. The Vite and Webpack one are reliable and used in production (using `es-module-lexer` under the hood). The hope here is that, as Telefunc's popularity grows, more and more stacks are reliably supported. Also, there is a prototype using Telefunc without a transformer at all, which works but needs polishing.
> I experimented with a higher-magic version of this a couple of years ago.
Neat, curious, is it on GitHub?

End-to-end type safety with tRPC (example repository)
An alternativeto tRPC that I find easier to use is telefunc

TypeScript and SQL: Six Ways to Bridge the Divide
The lack of RTTI in TypeScript _is_ definitely a pain but the jump to "must use decorators" and "TypeScript is not a server language" is unjustified. There are many approaches to validation and RTTI with TS. For example, you can generate JSONSchema from your TS types (see https://github.com/danvk/crosswalk for an example of this approach) or you can use a tool like Zod (https://zod.dev/) to declare your schemas as runtime values and derive TS types from those.
Writing your backend in Java or C# comes with its own issues, i.e. you can't share code between backend and frontend.

tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
I built something that sounds very similar at my last company called crosswalk. Open sourced here: https://github.com/danvk/crosswalk
One thing that worked surprisingly well: codegen TypeScript types from your database and use those in your API schema.
- recommended design pattern for TS+express?
