@zarehba I love your thoughtful feedback and very-very much grateful to you for that! 🙏
Agree with everything!

  • NPM downloads. Confirming the problem 👍 Noted it down.
  • not sure I understand the idea with ditching the gray color. Can you elaborate?
  • Bundlephobia. I already had a conversation about it on reddit and I agree that gzip and non-gzip should not be stackable 👍 Will fix it.
  • Google Trends... It's tough. I agree, I also think that for most npm packages it doesn't make any sense. Take for example table package. What will the chart show for the keyword table? I guess it won't reflect trends for the table package 😃 So it needs some thoughts how to improve it. I think the problem with peeks and lows exists mostly in case of not very popular packages. Popular packages should have more stable graphs. Unfortunately Google Trends doesn't provide a real API to adjust the data, so my abilities are also limited here. Anyway, I'll definitely think about what I can improve
  • PR chart. I think it doesn't say much in its current state (for example a number of closed or merged PRs) 😃. The chart should be improved to have real value.

Thanks a lot for your other notes about metrics and their priority.

Very much valuable feedback 👍 I'll come back to it and make sure I haven't missed anything.

About the gray color - the website would be easier to read when, say, in your example, the bars pertaining to angular would be red on every chart, react ones purple etc.

Yeah, I feel your pain about Google Trends..

Keep up the good work ;-)
