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.

egui or iced or druid?
The Elm model is fine, but it just didn't seem to work well with GTK. I never found much use for message passing - binding or signal callbacks accomplished state changes without much hassle, and fitting into GTK much better. For instance, here's a fairly complex page using subclassing + composite templates via blueprints: https://github.com/JMS55/whatthefn/blob/master/res/blp/profile_setup_page.blp + https://github.com/JMS55/whatthefn/blob/master/src/profile_setup_page.rs.

Parsers that don't yet exist?
The code is now open source (GPLv3) https://github.com/JMS55/whatthefn/tree/master/src/perf_data_parser.

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.

Ingesting, parsing and making sense of device log data
For binary log format, there's the excellent Kaitai Struct frameworks, that make it very easy to generate parsers from a declarative schema
