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.

90% less disk space + 80% faster doc generation w/ TypeDoc. Introducing the "Default Modern Theme" for TypeDoc + complete linkable API docs for the built-in TS lib declarations.
Background:The main bottleneck with the TypeDoc default theme especially for large projects is the verbose HTML for the left-hand navigation that linearly grows for each page based on the project size and consumes a massive amount of disk space; see this TypeDoc issue. The DMT caches the left-hand navigation HTML and dynamically creates a shared web component that is utilized across all pages only making a single copy of the navigation HTML. This reduces disk space utilization by up to 90% and also makes doc generation ~80% faster. I also include some style additions and replace the main search index generation using compressed MesssagePack instead of JSON which reduces the search index size by more than 90%.

Prim+RPC: a bridge between JavaScript environments. Easy-to-understand, type-safe, transport-agnostic RPC/IPC for JavaScript, supporting callbacks, batching, file uploads, custom serialization, and more.
While the Prim+RPC server is expected to be JavaScript, I'd like to support other languages through JSON Schema. I wrote a tool that translates TypeDoc comments into RPC-specific documentation. My plan is to turn this result into JSON Schema that can be served with the Prim+RPC server. This means you can get typed suggestions (for instance, from an IDE that understands JSON Schema) when writing requests in JSON files (I wrote a little about this here, still a WIP). From this, you could use your favorite HTTP client in the language of your choice, like but still benefit from having typed requests.

What software do you use to write documentation?
Docusaurus has a Typedoc plugin. Also there is a typedoc markdown plugin.

Mastering JSDoc: the complete guide for Javascript developers
Finally, JSDoc can be used to generate documentation for your code using tools like JSDoc itself and TypeDoc. These tools generate HTML or Markdown documentation based on your JSDoc annotations, making it easier for others to understand how your code works and how to use it.

I created a game engine using TypeScript. Please roast it.
I was thinking of using something like https://typedoc.org to do it, do you have experience with this sort of tools?

Complete rewrite of ESLint (GitHub discussion by the creator)
TSDoc is more consistent, has cleaner documentation, better tooling (e.g. TypeDoc or ESLint plugin) and better support for data structures (e.g. straightforward enums support).

Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?
I'm responsible for a number of Java products. I try to provide high-quality Javadoc for all public library interfaces, library user's guides where appropriate, and development guides for applications. The latter two take the form of MDBook documents (https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/), with the document source living in the GitHub repo so that it's tied to the particular software release in a natural way.

Outline: Self hostable, realtime, Markdown compatible knowledge base
My org has used mdBook: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ (That link is itself a rendered mdBook, so that'll give you an idea of the feature set.)
(While it's definitely a Rust "thing", if you just have a set of .md files, all you need is a "SUMMARY.md" (which contains the ToC) and a small config file; i.e., you don't have to have any Rust code to use it, and it works fine without. We document a large, mostly non-Rust codebase with it.)

Ask HN: Best tools for self-authoring books in 2023?
If you want the lowest friction, open source, easily extensible Markdown to Web, Kindle, PDF, etc. tool, highly recommend mdBook: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook itβs written in Rust, but you donβt have to know any Rust to use it. And then wing is all CSS; for which there are many good (free) themes.
