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.

Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server
It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.
The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.
There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
one combination I came to really love this year is babashka (https://github.com/babashka/babashka) + websocat (https://github.com/vi/websocat). I wrote about a method of live web programming with this pair at https://github.com/whacked/cow/blob/main/a%20technique%20for...
babashka isn't strictly necessary; you can also pipe plain text, but pushing hiccup expressions to the browser DOM from the REPL with instant feedback has opened a new world of interactive programming for me.

Realtime web-based MUD monitoring and control in tintin++ and mudlet
No... the core of it is a django instance in the cloud with a Vue front end (what you're seeing in the screen shot). To push data in, the client connects to a websocket (using https://github.com/vi/websocat) and push key/value pairs in. I'm not in the middle of gameplay at all.

Testing the Async Cloud with AWS CDK
There's really nothing to this. I just have to provide the bus name and an optional pattern. Now using websocat, I get output like this:

Exploring the methods of looking into Ethereum’s transaction pool
Subscriptions is real-time streaming of data from server to client through WebSocket. You will need a constantly active connection to stream such events. You cannot use curl for this and have to use a WebSocket client like websocat if you want to access it via command line. Once executed, a stream of pending transaction IDs will start flowing in.

How I use Devbox in my Elm projects
These projects use Caddy as my local development server, Dart Sass for converting my Sass files to CSS, elm, elm-format, elm-optimize-level-2, elm-review, elm-test (only in Calculator), ShellCheck to find bugs in my shell scripts, and Terser to mangle and compress JavaScript code.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...
If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

HTTP/2 Continuation Flood: Technical Details
I think that recompiling with upgraded Go will not solve the issue. It seems Caddy imports `golang.org/x/net/http2` and pins it to v0.22.0 which is vulnerable: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/6219#issuecommen....

Show HN: Nano-web, a low latency one binary webserver designed for serving SPAs
Caddy [1] is a single binary. It is not minimal, but the size difference is barely noticeable.
serve also comes to mind. If you have node installed, `npx serve .` does exactly that.
There are a few go projects that fit your description, none of them very popular, probably because they end up being a 20-line wrapper around http frameworks just like this one.

I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)
Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

Automatic SSL Solution for SaaS/MicroSaaS Applications with Caddy, Node.js and Docker
So I dug a little deeper and came across this gem: Caddy. Caddy is this fantastic, extensible, cross-platform, open-source web server that's written in Go. The best part? It comes with automatic HTTPS. It basically condenses all the work our scripts and manual maintenance were doing into just 4-5 lines of config. So, stick around and I'll walk you through how to set up an automatic SSL solution with Caddy, Docker and a Node.js server.

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Even if it may be simple, it doesn't handle edge cases such as https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/1632
I personally would make the trade off of taking on more complexity so that I can have extra compatibility.

Freenginx.org
One of the most heavily used Russian software projects on the internet https://www.nginx.com/blog/do-svidaniya-igor-thank-you-for-n... but it's only marginally more modern than Apache httpd.
In light of recently announced nginx memory-safety vulnerabilities I'd suggest migrating to Caddy https://caddyserver.com/
