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.

ULIDs and Primary Keys
I’ve seen this sort of design referred to as “typed IDs”: https://github.com/jetify-com/typeid
Doesn’t use the crockford encoding, but does is another one that minimises confusables.

The UX of UUIDs
https://github.com/uuid6/new-uuid-encoding-techniques-ietf-d...
But there is always TypeID in the meantime which uses UUIDv7 under the hood: https://github.com/jetify-com/typeid
Either way, I am in favor of prefixing and using alternative encodings, but it will need some time to figure out the best route. In the mean time, there are so many alternatives. TypeID, NanoID, ULID, etc. I even made my own quick one just for giggles: https://github.com/daegalus/snowflakes

Adding type safety to object IDs in TypeScript
If you want a type-prefixed UUIDv7 type, I can wholeheartedly recommend TypeID-JS: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-js
Also available for a whole bunch of other languages: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid
UUIDv7 is UUIDv4-compatible (i.e. you can put a v7 UUID anywhere a v4 UUID would go, like in Postgres's UUID datatype) and is time-series sortable, so you don't lose that nice lil' benefit of auto-incrementing IDs.
And if you use something like TypeORM to define your entities, you can use a Transformer to save as plain UUIDv7 in the DB (so you can use UUID datatypes, not strings), but deal with them as type-prefixed strings everywhere else:

You Don't Need UUID
IMO, a good middleground is using schemes like TypeID[0], ulid[1], or KSUID[2] that provides a more compact and readable (base32) representation and provides better database locality (K-sortable).

Why do so many EF tutorials use GUIDs as primary key?
If you do consider a GUID, I recommend the TypeID library we recently open-sourced. It has typing as part of the id, and it's based on UUIDv7. We think it has a few benefits over other GUIDs, including: + Easier to debug because of the type information + Type-safety can be enforced + Thanks to UUIDv7 is has good locality properties when used as the primary key of a database (unlike a completely random GUID) + We have a dotnet implementation in C# available

How to create unique id for every todo in a todo list.
If you’re open to a globally unique identifier like UUID, I’d recommend you check out TypeIDs which we recently open sourced https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid. They are based on the UUIDv7 standard, but add type information (like what Stripe does in their APIs), and we have a TypeScript implementation available.

Things I did before app launch and what I wish I have done
here are my notes as someone who studied this stuff extensively for my book launch (just crossed $200k revenue) https://github.com/sw-yx/brain/blob/906dbc6fd6d22fa69968ebc6...
in generally for OP's stuff i would disagree on launching on product hunt first. PH is a giant pyramid scheme where people just compete for the #1 badge each day. what the most successful products do is launch everywhere else first, and then after a few months email their happy customers to support them on PH. this is why you are #20 because you didnt study the game

New UUID Formats from IETF
(poster here)
these formats are not new new, but are still pretty new.
the context is i keep a list of uuid impls and knowledge for my own reference. posted this up today simply because I got a PR from some subscribers https://github.com/sw-yx/brain/pull/36

Bottom-Up Idea Exploration
Putting together this massive effort involved pulling in notes from 18 months of covering Concurrent React by myself, in particular studying prior art from Rodrigo Pombo in cloning the API from scratch. You can check out his talk here to contrast what he did vs me.
