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.

https://github.com/gallizoltan/usercount
The bot is open source, it crawls the list at https://instances.social and checks on each instance how many users they have and how many toots (statuses) they have.

Jack Dorsey has set a 1 billion sats (10 bitcoin) bounty for a permissionless alternative to GitHub based on Nostr
GIT is decentralized by its nature. GitHub is used to centralize the source of truth for all developers which create consensus on production code for example. Source of truth can be defined as the code that is currently running in production on arbitrary machines. So one can define by the protocol that production code is actually an Urbit ship and the SVM updates the ship in place. Merges, pull requests, etc is governed with a DAO.

I Don't See the Appeal of Crypto
Ethereum. The broadly useful, turing-complete version of Bitcoin. It has a community of developers building it and building on it, and as it grows and layer-2 scaling solutions — secondary blockchains that "settle" to Ethereum, making mild concessions on the hardness axis in exchange for a huge speed increase — the appeal and power of decentralized "smart contracts" will become more and more obvious. Just for one example, Urbit uses a set of Ethereum smart contracts to manage their decentralized PKI (public key infrastructure) system.

History of Lisp Parentheses (2019)
?., which reverses q and r.
Hoon code is rather interesting to look at, especially the rune vs keyword syntax (random file: https://github.com/urbit/urbit/blob/master/pkg/arvo/lib/aqua...) but I don't think it's worth the effort.
