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.

How I use Devbox in my Elm projects
This project uses HTMLMinifier, optipng, and zopfli to create a custom production Elm build pipeline. You can see how I make use of these tools in this build script. Here are the results in case you're interested. I used the same ideas from this project to build and deploy dwayne/elm-conduit, which you can learn more about in my article Yet Another Tour of an Open-Source Elm SPA.

PSA: Use ZopfliPNG to compress your PNG assets
I'm making a 2D game with lots of PNG assets. I recently found that ZopfliPNG regularly reduces the sizes of my assets by ~3x compared to Asesprite's output. I've tried a few other PNG compression tools, but ZopfliPNG consistently outperforms the others.

Google Chrome Is Already Preparing To Deprecate JPEG-XL (~3x smaller than JPEG, HDR, lossless, alpha, progressive, recompression, animations)
I mean something better than Google's best engineers trying to optimize LZ77's compression as much as humanly possible, while remaining compatible with the DEFLATE/zlib bitstream.

Losslessly Optimising Images
zopflipng typically beats pngcrus and optipng (on Linux at least) but by default it drops auxillary PNG chunks [0] which can result in browsers (and other applications) using a different color space, causing the resulting images to look more washed out than the original. To prevent this you need to explicitly pass --keepchunks=cHRM,gAMA,pHYs,iCCP,sRGB,oFFs,sTER to zopflipng.
Unfortunately it (and most other tools) don't have APNG support, keeping only the first frame.

- Good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression library
- What am I doing wrong? ffv1 vs "h264 -crf 0"

webP animated
I tried going with a lot of different compression algorithms, in the end a lot of iterations of Zopfli delivers the best result. With that, I got the image down to 591 kB.

KB Club: With links to HN, Reddit, Lobsters threads for each website
I tried zopflipng [1] with the very expensive option suggested from the usage and got 2,493 bytes (original 2,740 bytes, nowhere practical as it took 3 minutes) so you don't have to sacrifice the palette, though I'm not sure if 16 or even 4 color palette will significantly alter the visual.

Trying to use FFMPEG to convert mini DV tapes to digital format using a JVC GR-D23 via firewire. It works for video but I can't get it to capture audio.
Check out this repo https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord. The folks who wrote this project are a group of archivists who specialize in the transfer and digitization of tape. There is lots of good advice in that project.
- Ffmpeg results in audio drift

I digitized a DV tape, but it has "uneven" framerate with many frames duplicated, causing visual skipping and stuttering. Is there an easy way to normalize the framerate to remove the duplicates, and keep the audio in sync?
So, first check the DV source and make sure you have a transfer rather than a digitization of your DV. The https://github.com/amiaopensource/vrecord is an excellent resource for both the digitization of analog and the transfer of DV. It was written by professional archivists.

What am I doing wrong? ffv1 vs "h264 -crf 0"
This blog covers digitization of analog sources, so you could stream some of the FF1 commands used in the vrecord project. https://digitensions.home.blog/2019/03/18/moving-video-tape-capture-to-an-open-source-workflow/
