Which has better activity and maintenance signals?

Based on the RepoPilot analysis signals provided:

facebookarchive/rebound shows a WAIT — Stale verdict with the last commit 7 years ago. This indicates the project is no longer actively maintained.

yuliskov/smarttube is not included in the RepoPilot analysis data provided, so I don't have computed maintenance signals for it from the same authoritative source.

However, the repository data itself offers some context: the smarttube README includes recent content discussing issues like "2nd quarter of 2021" buffering problems and references to Telegram community discussions, suggesting ongoing community engagement. In contrast, rebound's last activity was in 2017 according to the analysis.

Conclusion: Based on available signals, yuliskov/smarttube appears to have better activity, though I lack formal RepoPilot analysis for it. facebookarchive/rebound is explicitly flagged as stale with no commits in 7 years, making it unsuitable for new projects requiring active maintenance.

If you're evaluating either project for production use, the stale status of rebound is a significant concern—you'd need to assess whether its spring physics implementation is stable enough for your use case without ongoing updates.

FOLLOW_UPS:

• What are rebound's direct dependencies and their security status?
• Does smarttube use rebound or similar physics libraries?
• What are the architecture grades for both projects?
