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 are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023?
Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.

yep people like this exist
For some reason, that reminded me of this.

Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part III
An excellent starting point for anyone interested in low-level graphics programming is Sokolov’s tinyraytracer [0]. It’s also a great way to learn a new language (work through the code while porting it to $DIFFERENT_LANGUAGE).

I’m getting started too in graphics programming (web developer here) and I’ve started with the Raytracing in One Week-end, I find it to be great (I use ChatGPT along the tutorial to exchange and ask questions when I struggle). Other than that I also bought the OpenGL bible book and the book Computer Graphics from Scratch that you can both find on Amazon, they’re really great.

C++ Project Ideas?
Nope, because they are easy to find. Here they are on GitHub: RayTracing/raytracing.github.io: Main Web Site (Online Books)

Changelog best practices
At https://github.com/RayTracing/raytracing.github.io, we have a master branch that serves as our primary release branch, and then three coordinated development branches: dev-patch, dev-minor, and dev-major (according to the SemVer https://www.semver.org/ change level). You could develop on all three level simultaneously, merging according to your next planned release (whether it's a patch, minor, or major release). In practice, we tend to figure out what the next release level will be, and then just develop on that branch. For example, we're working on a major release right now (v4.0.0), so all development work is going into our dev-major branch. Accordingly, we try to keep the CHANGLOG up to date as we go (see https://github.com/RayTracing/raytracing.github.io/blob/dev-major/CHANGELOG.md).

help, where did i go wrong in raytracing in one weekend?
I have now had a brief look at the repository for the book and see that there is work on a version 4 that may address some of the issues. Since you appear to be contributing I believe this issue covers the incorrect images for those sections.

How I Wrote My Book
Very cool. I co-edit Peter Shirley's _Ray Tracing in One Weekend_ (https://raytracing.github.io/) and have taken a similar approach, though with a different toolset. At some point if I find the time, I'll write up a similar article on our approach and what we've learned. Our books are open-sourced on GitHub (https://github.com/raytracing/raytracing.github.io), and we also use GitHub to host our books.
Basically, we use Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/), a _very_ powerful Markdown implementation with a bunch of built-in features. The killer feature is that with a handful of boilerplate lines (UTF-8 declaration at the top, and JavaScript loader at the bottom), you get content that automatically self-transforms in the browser into a full HTML document. This eliminates any build step, and means you can treat it as you would any other HTML file, with optional CSS and other features. It also bundles in a LaTeX engine, ASCII diagram rendering, and a whole host of other features. If you look at the three ray tracing books, you can see how simple the source is, and how pleasing the final rendering.
Check out the books and the GitHub repo — it's a _great_ way to quickly and easily pound out a web book.
