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.

Notcurses: Blingful character graphics/TUI library
Is it able to show actual videos or is that just to make the demo more interesting and inserted externally?
I would like to combine something like this with https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet or some of those ideas.

Software Disenchantment
Here's an idea I had that is a bit related https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
Although I may never have time to actually work on it. Especially since it will be a complete waste of time unless I can get a huge number of people to adopt it.

I'm fed up with it, so I'm writing a browser
"Writing a browser" (from scratch) at this point basically means you are implementing a type of portable operating-system-in-a-box (the web platform) and that it will be compatible with whatever Google decides to add to theirs.
The browser is so comprehensive in functionality and APIs, and such a challenge to keep up with Google's constant churn of new features and total dominance, that not even Microsoft could do it.
Here is my somewhat related pet project: Tersenet. https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet

Bye, Gemini
I loved playing around with Gemini. Something loosely along those lines can definitely work. Who knows what will become popular in the future. Extreme web page bloat leaves the door open.
Here are a couple of other alternative ideas for the web:

Ask HN: If money was no object what software would you create?
I might make a new version of this http://vintagesimulator.com with VR support.
Or actually build this https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
What I have been thinking about for a few years is a SaaS that takes a video stream and in real-time outputs a 3d reconstruction with separate posed meshes, or maybe even some type of (CAD-like) boundary representation.
It should be possible to use NeRFs to create a VR "teleportation" application.
Also I think that VR or mixed reality user interfaces should be 3D and possibly haptic, and that doing everything in 2d windows in VR doesn't make much sense. So there will eventually be an OS for mixed reality that has 3D widgets or components that can interact and have interesting interfaces.
It will also soon be possible to "clone" a person using dynamic NeRF-like technology combined with new multimodal models of behavior and cognition. Such as take every script from the Colbert show, feed it into a model that combines a LLM with gestures and some visual/spatial correspondence. Automatically create a late night monologue.

Show HN: We launched a new web browser
Seems really interesting so I have been Googling to try to figure out what you are talking about. Is the Hydraulic product a way to easily deploy GraalVM software? And maybe by adding some type of search and document browsing capability, it can become a new type of web browser?
Could you take a look at my comment in this thread and also at https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet
I have not totally updated that but my current thinking is that we really want to finish deconstructing the overlay operating system that the "web browser" has become. For example, we should actually not bundle the information browsing program and application VM together, but rather have a simple standard for them to work together. Such as, the info browser can save the list of the application binaries to a file that the VM system knows to watch.
We also actually want to further decompose this into a multilevel window manager concept. On the first level, just a rule that applications save and reload window layouts.
I really think it should be a goal to standardize on some web assembly extension with simple UI features like canvas or framebuffer and keyboard events.

Ask HN: How do you feel about Chrome becoming a browser monopoly?
We should be working on an alternative paradigm. https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet

Seize the Means of Computation
Wow hello famous person.
This weekend I got back to doing a little bit of work on my TerseNet concept, inspired by one of your articles "https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/adblocking-how-about-n..." and things like the Gemini Protocol with the idea of combating monopolies by making protocols simple enough for the average programmer or small team to implement them.
https://github.com/runvnc/tersenet -- still just some ideas, not an actual prototype.

Gimp 2.99.18 Released: The Last Development Preview Before 3.0
OCCT is definitely difficult.
I am almost as far as you can get from an expert but:
For example the TNP issue derives from OCCT (or something in the stack close to it, I am not exactly sure) not really handling face naming at all.
So if you want to avoid topological naming issues (which is a hard problem in CAD), you apparently have to do some work to track before and after and reconstruct your face naming.
https://wiki.freecad.org/Topological_naming_problem
https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=27278
Then there are various fairly entrenched issues to do with filleting and chamfering. Basically, both these operations will fail (in FreeCAD at least, but it's OCCT at "fault") if a chamfer or fillet would completely consume an existing edge. (It also sometimes creates impossible objects when filleting, or used to).
Booleans can be slow.
And more generally, it seems if you track the FreeCAD project that OCCT can be inscrutable when things fail; error messages aren't the greatest etc.
The flip side of OpenCascade is that it seems to be highly portable and has for example been compiled to JS with Emscripten for this astonishing thing:
https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/
It's a monumental open source project, for sure, and it's definitely not nothing that we have an open source CAD kernel; these are projects that perhaps have to extend beyond the working life of an individual developer if they are to be stable. And there are loads of projects built around it.
- Better OpenSCAD?

Show HN: Dslcad a programming language and interpreter for building 3D models
If you haven't seen it you may want to check out https://github.com/zalo/CascadeStudio
From what I see, it is exposing the OpenCascade base commands directly, versus your completely new DSL, but you might be interested in a way to implement your DSL on top of such an interface such as this which takes out a lot of the extra work of having a rendering interface, exports, etc, maybe.

Fornjot – The world needs another CAD program
FreeCAD is GUI-based though, not code-first like Fornjot. A better comparison would be CadQuery (https://cadquery.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html) or Cascade Studio (https://zalo.github.io/CascadeStudio/), both of which are code-first and based on the same CAD kernel as FreeCAD.

Support for Javascript?
It is an actual example from CascadeStudio, but I haven't looked into it enough to know how what actually happens under the hood, but I assume the following:
- Playing with Mystery Curves (inspired by the whirlpool vase posted a couple days ago)
What are some alternatives?
beacon - Beacon browser for desktop
cadquery - A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
MarginaliaSearch - Internet search engine for text-oriented websites. Indexing the small, old and weird web.
psml - Python library for OpenSCAD
nyxt - Nyxt - the hacker's browser.
OpenJSCAD.org - JSCAD is an open source set of modular, browser and command line tools for creating parametric 2D and 3D designs with JavaScript code. It provides a quick, precise and reproducible method for generating 3D models, and is especially useful for 3D printing applications.
