JSDB.io – A Database of JavaScript Libraries

Re:JSDB.io – A Database of JavaScript Libraries by andrew_gardener on Wednesday September 18, 2013 @12:47PM (#6406341)

hovering over ratings: "Overall JSDB.io Rating (derrived from combination of the other metrics)"

So I guess that means the rating are based on some formula of: stars + average time between commit + forks + contributes

My only problem is that doesn't this rating favor larger projects (Angular or Ember) as opposed to smaller projects that are perfect for solving small problems? The only way I can see around that is if stars has an overwhelming weight in the formula.

Anyways, looks helpful none the less (will look though it)

Hey! (I made this) Stars do have more rating than the other metrics, which evens things out. Yes, larger libraries like jQuery are rating higher because of the ranking system, but thats actually accurate if you are looking at 'popularity'; furthermore, there are only a few projects that are on this scale.

Try 'trending' if you want to see libraries that are growing quickly.
