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.

An aborted experiment with server Swift
It also uses a local SQLite db instead of a separate MySQL server, which makes deployment quite trivial (git clone && make run). The web client is still built with React, I've been thinking of rebuilding it with a single .html file and minimal JavaScript.

Outdated vs. Complete: In defense of apps that don’t need updates
Earlier this year I set out to completely rewrite an old project[1] using minimal, battle-tested dependencies to avoid having to constantly patch code rot associated with more modern languages and toolchains. The rewrite[2] is now complete, more performant and lightweight than the old one, and I'm confident I won't have to touch it much, if at all, and it will compile and work in 20 years.

Outdated vs. Complete: In defense of apps that don’t need updates
Well, there is also the security aspect in mind. Most software relies on libraries that repeatedly get CVEs over months (not years).
You might not care too much, and it clearly depends on the application, but for me updating a software that doesn't use anymore a library for getting user input that leads to a buffer overflow if you insert a certain character, or similar things, can be quite important.
After searching "android software libraries CVEs" I found this: https://github.com/dotanuki-labs/android-oss-cves-research
It might be outdated, but the principle still applies.
