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.

Rich word processor for Alpine
Not sure if they'll work on Alpine, but there's WordTsar (a Wordstar clone) and WordPerfect. Alternatively, you could run Word 5.5 in DOSBox.

Lightweight Word Processor
WordPerfect is a thing, still, and while its way more powerful, some would consider to be pretty clunky in terms of usability.

WordPerfect for Unix Character Terminals
Perhaps tangential, but there is a Pandoc marco [0] for this program to DOCX via RTF. But I agree, I can do all sorts of things but eventually I am often required to get a document in DOCX. Love Pandoc.

Word Grinder: Terminal Based Distraction Free Word Processor
A text editor and a word processor are different things. There are things you can do very easily in a word processor that are difficult in a text editor, and vice versa. I actually wrote a FAQ about this!

(Fwiw, I'm a daily vim user)

Is there a TUI/CLI WYSIWYG Editor with Autosave?
In fact, WordPerfect for UNIX does work on Linux, see here.
- What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.

Tauri CRUD Boilerplate
Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Show HN: Floro – Visual Version Control for static assets and strings
Hey Thanks!
Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.
I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.
To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.
IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.
On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Building W-9 Crafter
Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

Tauri - Rust, Js and Native Apps
Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
