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.

Ladybird, the from-scratch SerenityOS browser, can now display Google Docs
I readily admit that cooking the mozconfig is some holy hell, but they do have real-world examples in the repo; did you experience problems at that stage, or it literally wouldn't compile?
And while I haven't tried Ungoogled-Chromium, for unrelated reasons I helped an OSS project build their Brave-derivative in a container, so that may interest you: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/Dockerfile The only reason it's not already GitHub Actions for them is the chromium_src is 38GB and GHA cache is capped at 10G, but while digging up the link to that Dockerfile, I was reminded that there is a GHA for the macos build: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-mac...

A walkthrough on how to build Chromium from source!
While not exactly the same audience, one may find the Dockerfile for building Beacon handy as (a) more code, less talking (b) since Beacon is just a patched Chromium, its dependencies should be a superset of vanilla Chromium

Show HN: We launched a new web browser
Why are you swallowing "error" from invoking the "reall" tool? That seems like a great way to make contributors really frustrated: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/...
and again https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/tools/src/...
This trend of "I'm going to invent some build tool because there are not enough build tools in the world" is evidently leaking out of the node ecosystem
For clarity, I did see that this was inspired by the brave-browser model, but of the ones to draw inspiration from, that's for sure not it given that their CI is closed source and they're trying to use npm in lieu of a more structured, comprehensible system
I like trying out alternate browsers, so congratulations on the launch, and I'll for sure try to build it, but I wanted to draw these to your attention because my experience with software is that error handling is about 80% of the job
