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.

High performance pixel perfect applications. Qt vs wxWidgets vs GTK+

Any good kickstarters for open source stuff I should check out?
What's really cool is that VGC Illustration is fully free as in freedom (as in free speech, not price) software, and the creator is trying out the Ardour style funding model where you pay to obtain the compiled binaries, while the code is fully open source available in this GitHub repository. I like this funding model and encourage others to support it.

I'm coding a new vector app (like Adobe Illustrator) with cool features, and you guys loved it! I'm now asking for your help on Kickstarter to be able to turn the prototype into a full-pledged app that will make your life easier. Check it out for more info or download the free prototype. Thanks!
Oh, this is a super interesting feature request, thanks, I never thought of that! I added the request to GitHub to not forget: https://github.com/vgc/vgc/issues/565

I'm an indie dev and I've built a vector graphics tool where your paths/shapes can have shared edges — Now on Kickstarter!
Yes, it is open source, under the Apache 2.0 License. The source code for the prototype VPaint is here: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint and the source code for VGC Illustration is here: https://github.com/vgc/vgc

I'm an indie dev and I've built a vector graphics tool where your paths/shapes can have shared edges. Any thought?
The prototype is using Qt's QColor, which I believe is underlying a 16-bit integer per channel. The new re-implementation VGC Illustration is actually using 64-bit float per channel, I'm not kidding: https://github.com/vgc/vgc/blob/master/libs/vgc/core/color.h . It's probably a little overkill, so I may tone it down to 32-bit float per channel if I notice performance issues, but yes, basically I'll have your needs covered :-P

Deno in 2023
Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.
But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.
Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
