Track any npm package's downloads, trends, and health score for free

I Made Something for npm Package Analytics

Hey devs! 👋

I kept finding myself checking npm package stats manually, so I built a simple dashboard to make it easier. Thought I'd share in case it's useful to anyone else.

👉 packfolio.dev (no signup, just search)

PackFolio Dashboard

What It Does

📊 Health Score - Quick 0-100 rating based on downloads, freshness, and activity

🔥 Trending Packages - See what's gaining traction in the ecosystem

📈 Download Heatmap - 365-day visualization (like GitHub contributions)

🏆 Developer Stats - Compare impact across the community

📉 Charts - Trend analysis and package comparisons

⏱️ Timeline - Track releases and milestones

Why I Built It

Honestly, I just wanted to:

  • Check my own packages without opening multiple tabs
  • Compare libraries before choosing dependencies
  • See what's trending in the npm world

Figured others might find it helpful too.

How It Works

Search by username (like sindresorhus) or package name (like react). Everything runs in your browser - no backend, no tracking, no data collection.

Built with Next.js 16, TypeScript, and the npm Registry API.

Try It Out

packfolio.dev

It's completely free and open source. If you find bugs or have ideas for improvements, I'd genuinely appreciate the feedback!
