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.

“Writing an app is like coding for LaserDisc”
One possible solution to this problem is the Free, Open Source Software community continuing to work toward more sophisticated tech that can bridge the gap between popular server-side languages for Web Dev and native platforms. PhoneGap was a failure because it was JS running on the phone, rather than compiling to something faster and with a more “native feel”. React Native is, IMHO, not that much better (and the React ecosystem has ridiculous fragmentation and churn). Flutter seems cool, but Dart is not a popular server-side language (and from what I heard anecdotally, Flutter also has API complexity and churn).
Personally, I think Elixir is a natural choice for this kind of task (disclosure: I am incredibly biased in my love for Elixir).
Macro-based DSLs are not beloved by all, but they can take you pretty far with minimal overhead, since you can theoretically target multiple platforms without even having to ship a custom runtime to the phone. Aside from the language itself, there is a great community, less fragmentation and churn, and a tendency to build thoughtful, robust libraries and frameworks with good docs.
For inspiration, take a look at Mitch Hanberg’s Temple project[0] which compiles valid Elixir code to something that eventually gets turned into HTML.
DockYard is also doing really cool, bleeding edge stuff with LiveView Native[1], even if it’s a bit early to predict how viable it will be for large, complex apps.

What's your favorite lesser known package?
I recently also found temple and I really like the idea. I mean, Elixir is great for DSLs, why not to use it. For example, we already kinda use it for SQL, thanks to Ecto. However, the latest issue about not supporting the latest liveview and no activity for a while scared me away from actually trying it. Maybe, I should be more brave in picking up seems-to-be-dead projects. Have you tried it?

Show HN: Dotenv, if it is a Unix utility
I think direnv already does a good job in this space, and it's already available in your package manager.

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
I switched from asdf to mise after a comment on lobste.rs[1] suggested I do so a few months ago, and I have been very happy with it.
It sands off some of asdf's sharp UI edges and provides a somewhat larger but still reasonable feature set; I've also replaced most of my direnv[2] usage with it.
The mise -> asdf comparison page is useful[3]

Nix-direnv is a quality of life improvement
I also made the export diff configurable, motivated by this post: https://github.com/direnv/direnv/pull/1233

Conditional Git Configuration
Nice.
For years I've been using [direnv](https://direnv.net/) for this, setting environment variables which git picks up. This looks like a more feature complete equivalent, although to be honest I only really need switching of committer email and the SSH key used.

Development Environments with Guix, similar to devenv.sh
Direnv, for the uninitiated, loads and unloads environment variables when directories are entered and exited. Under every project folder there is a `$PROJ_DIR/.envrc` which contains:
-
Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

golang cli vs env var in windows?
You can look at direnv to see this in action as they wrote shell hooks that get loaded into the shell profile and are executed on every prompt. https://direnv.net/

Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
Yes, most Nix users employ https://direnv.net or the equivalent for your IDE of choice. Emacs for instance has https://github.com/purcell/envrc which set per-buffer variables.
