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.

Oof: Manipulate (RGB) color, position and more of console output in a single C++ header library
This is really interesting and I see a lot of parallels (e.g. screen abstraction, etc.) between this and my own terminal emulation library (https://github.com/KazDragon/terminalpp, see https://github.com/KazDragon/textray for a fully-fledged example). We should collab some time.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Another problem is that the cursor moves while the screen is buffer is being rendered. The location is only really known once the cursor settles in the same place for some time, which is unacceptable in terms of latency.
The synchronized output extension could be used to do this, though. https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/blob/master/docs...

Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/issues/382
This apparently does not support the Kitty graphics protocol, just Sixel, which makes it look fairly unattractive to me, personally.

Is there a way to make Dolphin use a terminal app other than Konsole?
https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour Contour has a implementation for this. See this release: https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/releases/tag/v0.3.6.240

Speeding up incremental Rust compilation with dylibs - Robert Krahn
Now that I'm well rested I decided to compile some similar terminal emulators with clang++ and rustc to see how big of a gap we're looking at. For the C++ terminal emulator I compiled contour with ~80k lines of C++ and over 200k lines when accounting for dependencies (not including dynamically linked dependencies), and then I'm using alacritty with ~35k lines of Rust and over 2 million (!) lines for the whole dependency tree when vendoring all dependencies. Because Rust tries to make most software cross platform with conditional compilation and many of these aren't Linux specific libraries I'm gonna assume it's compiling half or two thirds of the lines of dependencies for this experiment with the C++ compiling probably 3/4ths of the dependency tree considering I'm not on windows.

What terminal emulator do you use?
I have my eyes on this though.
What are some alternatives?
oof - Convenient, high-performance RGB color and position control for console output
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
Catch - A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch)
harfbuzz - HarfBuzz text shaping engine
textray - A Telnet server that allows a connected client to navigate a text-based ray-casted 3D landscape
terminal-unicode-core - Unicode Core specification for Terminal (grapheme clusters, character widths, ...)
chalk - 🖍 Terminal string styling done right
nchat - Terminal-based Telegram / WhatsApp client for Linux and macOS
osmanip - A cross-platform library for output stream manipulation using ANSI escape sequences.
iTerm2 - iTerm2 is a terminal emulator for Mac OS X that does amazing things.
libsixel - A SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation derived from kmiya's sixel (https://github.com/saitoha/sixel).
darktile - :waning_crescent_moon: Darktile is a GPU rendered terminal emulator designed for tiling window managers.
