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.

Near duplicate image detection
Now let's compare the hash to all the image hashes using Levenshtein distance. We'll use the textdistance library for that.

Is it possible on Python?
Yeah my hunch is that a combination of nltk, python-Levenshtein, numpy for language processing, pandas for gathering results and scrapy for web scraping should make it possible. Sadly such a project probably requires at least a month or two worth of training in Python to prototype. Good luck OP.

Four Useful Python Libraries You Don't Know About
I've used fuzzy-wuzzy and it is pretty slow if you can't install python-Levenshtein (which I couldn't, though I don't remember why). I ended up uninstalling it and using a custom matching algorithm for search in my app.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing TextDistance and Levenshtein you can also consider the following projects:
jellyfish - 🪼 a python library for doing approximate and phonetic matching of strings.
fuzzywuzzy - Fuzzy String Matching in Python
pydantic - Data validation using Python type hints
chardet - Python character encoding detector
Python Left-Right Parser - Python Parser
shortuuid - A generator library for concise, unambiguous and URL-safe UUIDs.
ceja - PySpark phonetic and string matching algorithms
Charset Normalizer - Truly universal encoding detector in pure Python
nider - Python package to add text to images, textures and different backgrounds
xpinyin - Translate Chinese hanzi to pinyin (拼音) by Python, 汉字转拼音
