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.

Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

is there a plugin to run any file (.py .js .java etc.) and display the output?
I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.

[Paid Bounty-$20 in Bitcoin!] Persistent - Watchfolder() dir, if files contains word "apple" in name, make file Read only.
OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?
I'm responsible for a number of Java products. I try to provide high-quality Javadoc for all public library interfaces, library user's guides where appropriate, and development guides for applications. The latter two take the form of MDBook documents (https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/), with the document source living in the GitHub repo so that it's tied to the particular software release in a natural way.

Outline: Self hostable, realtime, Markdown compatible knowledge base
My org has used mdBook: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ (That link is itself a rendered mdBook, so that'll give you an idea of the feature set.)
(While it's definitely a Rust "thing", if you just have a set of .md files, all you need is a "SUMMARY.md" (which contains the ToC) and a small config file; i.e., you don't have to have any Rust code to use it, and it works fine without. We document a large, mostly non-Rust codebase with it.)

Ask HN: Best tools for self-authoring books in 2023?
If you want the lowest friction, open source, easily extensible Markdown to Web, Kindle, PDF, etc. tool, highly recommend mdBook: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook it’s written in Rust, but you don’t have to know any Rust to use it. And then wing is all CSS; for which there are many good (free) themes.
