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.

What can I do in Haskell? UwU

What practice programs or knowledge should I learn to do "real" projects in Haskell
Not if you use my Threepenny-gui library. 😉

Is threepenny-gui really reactive?
If you really want FRP, use Obelisk (based on Reflex-Dom. I will call just say "Obelisk" to refer to Obelisk's dependencies Reflex-Dom, Reflex,... too). I like the author of threepenny-gui and the library has the great advantages of not needing GHCJS (Obelisk does not need GHCJS either theoretically but I do not know how easy it currently is to make it work without) nor Nix. But the library was originally built as a non-FRP library and it has been lacking essential FRP combinators for a long time.
When I look at the different examples included with threepenny-gui, I get the impression that they have not designed their programs reactively. For instance, if you see Mouse.hs, you see that they are saying

How is it going with desktop apps nowadays? What happened to wxHaskell?
The threepenny-gui library is probably best if you just want a simple way to make GUIs. However, it doesn't really do desktop GUIs as such: it displays your GUI as a webpage running on localhost. However, it does work pretty well with Electron, which gives you a desktop application.

Best UI Toolkit for generating UI elements at runtime
For this purpose, I normally use threepenny-gui, which can be used with Electron. (As it happens, that combination is what I’m using for my current Haskell program.)

What's New in Rails 7
Applications generated with Rails 7 will get Turbo and Stimulus (from Hotwire) by default, instead of Turbolinks and UJS. Hotwire is a new approach that delivers fast updates to the DOM by sending HTML over the wire.

Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to build a new web app today?
For Ajax-y stuff, I am really excited by the new crop of "HTML-as-a-Service" or "HTML-over-the-wire."
-
Ask HN: Do we need JavaScript web frameworks?
Did you build and maintain UI ? Pick the approach whits suits best.
Also note - Hotwire
Hotwire is an alternative approach to building modern web applications without using much JavaScript by sending HTML instead of JSON over the wire

Ask HN: What are you favorite goto frameworks when writing Web Aplications
I was recently interested in similar topic. Here are 3 similar solutions I found:
My personal preference is Unpoly (the idea of "layers" is awesome). But the best explanation of concept as a whole (HATEOAS, keeping app state on server using partial page updates, etc) is at HTMX homepage, and in these essays:

Hotwire isn't only for Rails
At the end of 2020 the Basecamp team released a collection of Javascript libraries called Hotwire. Modern web stacks have popularized javascript-rendered front ends and JSON transmissions. Hotwire's primary motivation is to reduce the Javascript footprint and allow application front ends to be created in primarily HTML. It pairs very nicely with the Ruby on Rails ideology and is often demonstrated in that context. I aim to write a series on how Hotwire can be used in any application to simplify development and reduce the need for heavy Javascript downloads. Hotwire currently consists of two javascript libraries: Turbo and Stimulus. The first part of this series introduces Turbo.

How do you handle views?
I've been doing that a while until I just got sock of the JS spagetti and often duplicated code and went full on Angular CSR and never looked back. That being said, I've been seeing a lot recently about Laravel's Livewire and Symfony and Ruby on Rail's integration with Hotwire (stimulus+turbo).

Suggestions for building ios and android apps in rails?
I believe Strada is supposed to help with this too when it is released: https://hotwired.dev/

Ask HN: Modern Alternatives to Spas
Perhaps check out https://hotwired.dev/
I’ve found server rendered apps to be the most productive on small teams or solo projects. Hotwired adds some sprinklings of JS that make this approach slicker.
What are some alternatives?
htmx - </> htmx - high power tools for HTML
SvelteKit - web development, streamlined
Alpine.js - A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.
Svelte - Cybernetically enhanced web apps
phoenix_live_view - Rich, real-time user experiences with server-rendered HTML
inertia-laravel - The Laravel adapter for Inertia.js.
stimulus_reflex - Build reactive applications with the Rails tooling you already know and love.
Stimulus - A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have
jsbundling-rails - Bundle and transpile JavaScript in Rails with esbuild, rollup.js, or Webpack.
turbo-rails - Use Turbo in your Ruby on Rails app
htmx-demo - Very simple demonstration of the use of htmx with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf.
livewire - A full-stack framework for Laravel that takes the pain out of building dynamic UIs.
