If anyone wonders why all the comments below are being voted down, it's because they all appear to be sockpuppets. Check out the account info.

Amazing anyone would think they could get away with that kind of trick on HN!

Yeah, don't forget the little flag link up near the top...

They aren't 'sockpuppets', but people who actually have accounts on RubyTrends, use and like the site.

Admittedly, they weren't familiar with this site so they are new here and apparently being punished for it.

RubyTrends generates no revenue and is developed on my free time.

Thanks for supporting my effort to help other people in the Ruby community.

It's interesting to see what is popular over time. Suprisingly, Ruby on Rails is #1. :)

RubyTrends helps development teams sort out the differences in the morass of open source alternatives.

The RubyTrends search also allows you to not only see what project matches your keyword, but also if there is a screencast or book with the same keyword.

Before I "re-invent the wheel" I look for solutions that are out there already. This site is cool because I can see which one of those tools are the most popular (hence probably actively supported) BEFORE I start playing with them.
