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.

Terminal Graphics for the 21st Century
I'm not sure chafa works with video like, say, mplayer built with aalib and libcaca will convert movie files to color or B&W ASCII on the command line (iirc w/ audio only on the host machine). Similarly, on PPC Macs, there was QuickASCII,[1] which lacks audio. I have used tiv,[2] (available with MacPorts) which works very well with images, not video. There was a way to configure the browser links (not lynx) to use tiv to browse the web on cli with converted images.

Terminal Graphics for the 21st Century
Far far better than caca.
The subset of usable characters (glyphs) roughly defines how accurate the picture can be represented: if all you have is - and _ and you want to represent an horizontal pipe, it'll be ugly.
Of course it's more complicated than that, but caca uses ascii, while chafa uses a larger unicode range.
The example is illustrated in picture on https://github.com/csdvrx/derasterize where the left is the original basicidea.c using only unicode halfblocks, and the right has more candidate of different shapes.
Derasterize lets you select the width of the range you want to use, to improve encoding time say for video - but ideally, you would be able to test that whatever font you are using contains the glyphs you want.

Alacritty with sixel
On the application side, there is as yet exactly one terminal multiplexer that can handle images inside multiple terminals, but someone (saitoha?) did make a dev branch of tmux that could do it. /u/csddvx has I think the most recent version of that ; and her derasterize can make sixel work with non-sixel terminals which is a really neat trick.
