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.

Cap'n Proto 1.0
Yes, he was the most active developer over the last few years, although it wasn't a huge amount of activity. And that activity had dropped off this year as Ian shifted his focus to Tempest, a mostly-from-scratch rewrite. https://github.com/zenhack/tempest
For my part I stopped pushing monthly Sandstorm updates this year as there hasn't really been anything to push. Unfortunately Sandstorm's biggest dependencies can't even be updated anymore because of breaking changes that would take significant effort to work around.
I agree a blog post is probably in order.

Sandstorm: Open-source platform for self-hosting web app
Tempest [0] looks very interesting. What is the current state of the project?

Sandstorm: Open-source platform for self-hosting web app
I don't think it's going to happen with only a couple languages with good support. Messaging is fundamental enough that you don't want to swap libraries if not necessary, which means I won't choose it if the languages our products use are not well-supported. Just as a couple of examples:
- Node (& JS in general) have three implementations. One[1] mentions in the README that it's a hacky wrapper, the interface isn't final and the implementation is slow - for 9 years now. Another one[2] without support for RPC hasn't been updated in 4 years, and the last one[3] for 10 years.
- Lua[4] has been updated sporadically over the last couple of years, but the README mentions it ONLY works with LuaJIT v2.1, not with current Lua versions.
Currently it's hard to justify using it in a long-term project, considering how much broader the language implementations for Protobuf are. They also aren't perfect, but there is a lot more buy-in.
