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.

API Security Academy dedicated to GraphQL security
How does it work? There is no backend whatsoever. The API Security Academy leverages WebContainers, a new technology that allows running full-blown node instances directly in the browser. Each WebContainer contains a live GraphQL application, so you'll not only understand why a vulnerability is risky, but also how to exploit it and, most importantly, how to fix it.

Node on Web. Use Nodejs freely in your browser with Linux infrastructure.
StackBlitz made the claim "... run Node.js, entirely inside your browser" #658, then had to revise it's claim to "We currently do not expose a way to use WebContainer outside of StackBlitz.com,".

Lua: The Little Language That Could
> Wasm though seems like the likely general heir, and will have many different offerings for how to do that (Deno being one!).
I was recently blown away by some ideas that StackBlitz [0] apply based on WebContainers. The idea of a "server in the browser", they allow you to run Node-based environment like that via Wasm.

Blog Post: Reasonable Bootstrap
This very simple fact is well known flaw, which was already often criticized and asked for solutions by users. It doesn't only affect this kind of very exotic bootstrap applications but also significantly limits rusts usefulness in many other areas. Pure browser based scientific code documentation and example notebooks (e.g. jupyterLite) and sandboxed CI and IDE solutions (e.g. web containers) as available for many other languages are simply not available for rust because of this very fundamental issue.

WebContainer API
Looks like they plan to open it. From the FAQ section of README (https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core#faqs):
> Is there a developer API?

[AskJS] Is there an JavaScript engine agnostic server module that can be imported into Bun, QuickJS, Deno, and Node.js?
I'm skeptical about stackblitz claims. The last time I checked that is closed source code https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core/issues/658.

Use SSH in browser
StackBlitz claimed https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/ to have implemented Node.js in the browser, though I have not observed any evidence of that being true and correct https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core/issues/658.

Docker Desktop Requires A Paid Subscription, Now What?
The other honorable mention is StackBlitz, a web-based web editor for making containers that run Javascript applications. Interestingly, StackBlitz is championing WebContainers, a technology that allows developers to start NodeJS servers within the browser. The downside is, this technology only works with Javascript-based projects (NodeJS, NextJS, etc). I include it here because WebContainers could easily be extended to support other languages via WASM, like Ruby. Iโll also add in Buildah, a tool for building OCI images. I wonโt say much about this tool because itโs designed for building images; you still need another service, like Podman, to actually create the containers.

Bebop v3: a fast, modern replacement to Protocol Buffers
This is awesome. I'd love to have upstream support in Wasmer ( https://wasmer.io )

Unlocking the Power of WebAssembly
WebAssembly is extremely portable. WebAssembly runs on: all major web browsers, V8 runtimes like Node.js, and independent Wasm runtimes like Wasmtime, Lucet, and Wasmer.

Show HN: dockerc โ Docker image to static executable "compiler"
Unfortunately cosmopolitan wouldn't work for dockerc. Cosmopolitan works as long as you only use it but container runtimes require additional features. Also containers contain arbitrary executables so not sure how that would work either...
As for WASM, this is already possible using container2wasm[0] and wasmer[1]'s ability to generate static binaries.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Prettier $20k Bounty was Claimed
The Biome team has been incredibly fast on solving the challenge and achieving 95% compatibility with Prettier [1]
Just as a note, as it was not mentioned in the article, Wasmer [2] also participated with a $2,500 bounty to compile Biome to WASIX [3], and it has been awesome to see how their team has been working to achieve this as well... hopefully we'll get Biome running in Wasmer soon!
Keep up the great work!!

The Curse of Docker
It's funny how WebAssembly can help overcome most of the issues mentioned on the blogpost (packaging, configuration, portability) if addressed properly.
That's the main reason Wasmer [1] was created :)
