The problem

Source: modulecounts.com

104k modules to choose from

Why is that a problem?

Significant overlap

Many sub-optimal packages

Which modules are the good ones?

How do we compare with other languages?

Towards a Quality Metric

Downloads per day

GitHub stars / forks

Number of versions

Open issues vs closed issues

No need to peek inside the code!

Package quality

A proof of concept

Browse packages in npmjs.org

and then look for the GitHub project

Can be extended to other repos

Help me on GitHub

Thanks!
