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.

What are some useful cli tools that arent popular?
xpe - a commandline xpath parser. xpaths are better than css queries for getting at specific html elements in the DOM. Compared to other parsers, this one is easier to use, and supports html.

Tell ONE terminal app you use everyday but no one seems know about the app
I use the heck out of xpe. It's a super simple command-line xpath parser using lxml in python.
-
htmlq - like jq, but for HTML
If you like xmllint, you might like xpe. It's more user-friendly.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
xpe - a commandline xpath parser. I made this after trying to use xpaths for web automation in bash, and not finding anything that worked.

A list of command line tools for manipulating structured text data
For commandline xpath parsing for simple commandline web automation, xpe is pretty handy. It's a real simple python script, but it scratches that itch, and it's only a pip install away.

Ask HN: A fast, Rust HTML parser that works?
So I'm doing some web scraping in Rust, and so I will need to parse HTML. [scraper](https://docs.rs/scraper/latest/scraper/) (which uses [html5ever](https://github.com/servo/html5ever)) is doing fine except that it's the bottleneck of my application.
So I need a faster parser. I've tried [tl](https://docs.rs/tl/latest/tl/) which would've been perfect except that it doesn't actually work on the HTML I have. When I try to `query_selector` the elements I need, it returns nothing.
[Kuchiki](https://docs.rs/kuchiki/latest/kuchiki/) is abandonded.
I couldn't figure out how to get [lol-html](https://github.com/cloudflare/lol-html) to work for me (it's designed for re-writing HTML, whatever that means). It doesn't seem to have an API to extract the inner text of an element.
[html5gum](https://github.com/untitaker/html5gum) seems to be just an HTML tokenizer, or otherwise just too low-level. I have not yet tried [quick-xml](https://github.com/tafia/quick-xml/) but judging from the README, it's pretty low-level too. I mean, if these are the only options left then I will try them. Otherwise, I would love to use a parser that's faster but as ergonomic as `scraper` or `tl`.
At this point, I would be happy with an Lxml bridge/port of some sort. I don't need to mutate HTML, just parse and read data from it.

How much Rust work is actually going on at Cloudflare?
I'm also in the Workers org but I have had a bit of interaction with Rust. There's some Rust in the Workers runtime using lol-html for HTMLRewriter as well as some tooling and there's the full blown workers-rs framework that I work on, but that's about it for the Rust I work on regularly.

Texting Robots: Taming robots.txt with Rust and 34 million tests
Thanks again and happy to answer any questions! My current unreleased Rust projects include a web crawler that uses Tokio + Tokio Console + Reqwest with this crate for robots.txt and a fast text extraction library using lol-html that I am planning to sprinkle with some minimal ML to get Readability.js style intelligent extraction (with training in Python). See Fathom for an example of the ML approach I'll likely take.

Like JQ, but for HTML
I’d like to see a tool using lol-html [0] and their CSS selector API as a streaming HTML editor.
