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.

Nim v2.0 Released
We have written pixie: https://github.com/treeform/pixie . Pixie is a 2D graphics library similar to Cairo and Skia written entirely in Nim. Which I think is a big accomplishment. It even has python bindings: https://pypi.org/project/pixie-python/
- How can I add graphics to my nim program?

Simple Gamepad Support
I made it because I really like pixie/boxy/windy combo, but there is no gamepad support built-in.

Why I enjoy using the Nim programming language at Reddit.
With Nim, you can continuously optimize and improve the hot spots in your code. For example, in the Pixie graphics library, path filling started with floating point code, switched to floating point SIMD, then to 16-bit integer SIMD. Finally, this SIMD was written for both x86 and ARM.

Is Fidget usable for implementation of 3D rendering?
The author Fidget actually has a number of other great libraries that are part of the rendering stack. Notably, Pixie for text and shape rendering in 2D, Boxy for rendering textures to the GPU via opengl, and then Windy for an OS window context and user events, and a number of other libraries related to 3D rendering.

Ask HN: What's the best source code you've read?
Perhaps not the "best" source code I've ever read, but libVF.io had some beautiful code for what's generally gnarly system-glue code. The iommu setup code is a good example and inspires me to think that system-glue code doesn't need to be gross or impenetrable: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/LibVF.IO/blob/master/src/libv...
Another one I've appreciated reading (and learned more about 2d graphics from) is Pixie, a 2d graphics library written in Nim. Here's the implementation of a fair subset of SVG paths: https://github.com/treeform/pixie/blob/master/src/pixie/path...
And one last one for basic algorithms: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/version-1-6/lib/pure/al...
Of course Knuth's original code is still some of the best classic code. K&R's original C book is a classic.

Nim: Curated Packages
I am working on OpenStreetMap renderer in Nim - see https://github.com/severak/lunarender3/ (but work somewhat stalled)
I needed some language which is:
- compiled to binaries
- and really fast
- has needed libraries (HTTP server, protocol buffers, sqlite and image generation)
- it's easy to set up
It was nice experience and Nim simply worked for my needs. People on Nim forum were nice and helped me when I ran into problems. It has nice and usable built-in library and I was really impressed by graphic library pixie - https://github.com/treeform/pixie
I would use Nim again when I when I will see this application is suited for it (e.g. some command line apps).

Building a simple room-based chat application in Nim (using HTMX)
> but not so small that there are no useful libraries written...
Says the person responsible for a ton of really useful, well-done Nim libraries, such as this amazing Cairo/Skia-like library: https://github.com/treeform/pixie#readme
Thank you for all the things you've made for Nim!

What sort of mature, open-source libraries do you feel Rust should have but currently lacks?

Nim Version 1.6 Released
Nim is the most readable language I've ever seen. I've dabbled with Go, but Nim is almost like pseudocodes+types. Highly recommend you take a like, try it out! You can use libraries like https://github.com/planety/prologue or https://github.com/treeform/pixie to create something quickly and fun(compile times are faaasst!).
And Nim does not have a mandatory GC, you can go as low-level as you want, but in case you don't want that you can choose from several great GC's(a capable soft real-time GC and Boehm for example).

Ask HN: How do you manage your personal finances?
I use buckets https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/
I track my balances across various sources, updating once a month. I also set my outgoings.
Funnily enough I don't really use the buckets feature too much, simply the graph over time of savings, and ability to set goals / monthly costs for review is enough.
-
An open-source alternative to QuickBooks
I haven't used it, but the team (person?) that makes [Buckets](https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com) makes [SimpleFIN](https://www.simplefin.org), which seems like it exposes exactly what you want: simple transaction data from arbitrary banks.
Plaid offers [transactions APIs](https://plaid.com/products/transactions/), but I guess to your point these APIs are geared towards fintech companies, not personal use.

Budgeting software that is as automated as possible?
Budget with Buckets.

I tried to find a "free" alternative to YNAB
I'll vouch for Buckets. Though I've never actually used YNAB, but I use the YNAB rules and Buckets can do that just fine.

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
I built a tool for predicting the outcome of matchups in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (head-to-head category based leagues). I find it helpful for determining what categories to focus on when picking up streamers/free agents.
https://fantasyhockey.fly.dev/
Also, I've seen a few budgeting apps on here. I didn't build [Budget with Buckets](https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/), but I do think it's a great YNAB alternative _except_ that there is no mobile app. So I built a web app that can be used on mobile.

Trying to Find software
Buckets https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/ looks good and promising, mobile app is still in development.
