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.

tls-scan VS trivialscan - a user suggested alternative

CryptoLyzer: A comprehensive cryptographic settings analyzer
There are many notable open-source projects (SSLyze, CipherScan, testssl.sh, tls-scan, …) and several SaaS solutions (CryptCheck, CypherCraft, Hardenize, ImmuniWeb, Mozilla Observatory, SSL Labs, …) to do a security setting analysis, especially when we are talking about TLS, which is the most common and popular cryptographic protocol. However, most of these tools heavily depend on one or more versions of one or more cryptographic protocol libraries, like GnuTLS, OpenSSL, or wolfSSL. But why is this such a problem?

A friendly reminder from the good guys at NSA to stop using obsolete TLS versions and cipher suites.
There is also Mozilla Cipherscan too.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing tls-scan and cipherscan you can also consider the following projects:
sslyze - Fast and powerful SSL/TLS scanning library.
engine - A reference implementation of the Russian GOST crypto algorithms for OpenSSL
http-observatory - Mozilla HTTP Observatory
SchannelConfiguration - Configure SChannel Security Settings via Group Policy
testssl.sh - Testing TLS/SSL encryption anywhere on any port
cmcollctr - Collection Commander
ssldump - ssldump - (de-facto repository gathering patches around the cyberspace)
openssl - Fork of OpenSSL 1.1.1 that includes prototype quantum-resistant algorithms and ciphersuites based on liboqs [OQS-OpenSSL 1.1.1 is NO LONGER SUPPORTED, please switch to OQS-Provider for OpenSSL 3]
