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.

My Second Brain – Zettelkasten
For me, the idea is sound but the implementation always seems so cumbersome. I want something that separates the data from the display as much as possible, has an easy 'note taking' and has an easy install. One problem I always encounter is that if the interface to add notes has too much friction, I stop using it pretty quickly.
Anyway, so I created something over the weekend called 'notenox' [0]. It creates a a JSON file of relevant information, one JSON file per note, with keywords and a "special" keyword prefix called a 'title' that mimics how I've actually been taking notes (email, so the 'title' mimics an email thread). For display, I consolidate all JSON files into a single JSON file and then have it loaded into the browser with some Javascript to group by title or keyword, along with doing all cross referencing and counting on the client end.
Creating notes is done through the command line, because that's a common way I interact with my computer, with different options to create titles, links, keywords, etc. I'm sure there are many different Zettelkasten implementations out there but they always seem so clunky and cumbersome. It's not hard, so the simple use case should be simple, nor should it proprietary or locked behind a SaaS.
You can see my personal notes in action, if you like [1] (sorry, not mobile friendly!).

Understanding SQL vs. NoSQL Databases: A Beginner's Guide
SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are relational databases. They organize data into tables with rows and columns, and they use SQL for querying and managing data. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

How to choose the right type of database
SQLite: A lightweight, self-contained SQL database, best for standalone applications, embedded systems, or small-scale applications not requiring a client/server DBMS.

NoSQL Postgres: Add MongoDB compatibility to your Supabase projects with FerretDB
FerretDB is an open source document database that adds MongoDB compatibility to other database backends, such as Postgres and SQLite. By using FerretDB, developers can access familiar MongoDB features and tools using the same syntax and commands for many of their use cases.

Ask HN: Where do I find good code to read?
Rust stdlib code is quite high quality although not particularly dense due to large amount of comments. Start from the docs, and click any source link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html
Sqlite is supposedly high quality C code: https://github.com/smparkes/sqlite
For videos of someone (Casey Muratori) writing video game code and debugging it, Handmade Hero: https://handmadehero.org/
A blog post about how to write code by the same author: https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0015
For how to implement a fairly advanced type system, Typing Haskell in Haskell: https://gist.github.com/chrisdone/0075a16b32bfd4f62b7b
But, honestly, you're probably better off writing code yourself and learning by doing.
