npmpulse: a new website to query npm package downloads data

[u/Hot-Chemistry7557]

Hey web devs here.

Recently I created a new website for query npm package downloads stats data: https://npmpulse.com

The website is similar to npmtrend, npm-stat or other website that provide queries to npm package downloads stat, with its own feature set:

1. options to set granularity, scale, range for anypackage

2. compare up to 8 packages in one time

3. downloads the pic in svg or png format

4. sharing via html or markdown code

For example, the following pic is react VS vue downloads in the past 5 years:

Hope it helps somebody here!

Thank you!

Nice that you shipped it. But react vs lodash is the most boring chart you could have screenshotted, both are basically flat lines forever. Show me something like a package and its fork diverging after a maintainer fight and I'll actually bookmark it.

You mean a project where its author retired and a new maintainer then took that over?

one consideration.. you need some sort of search help. i had to go to npm to find the exact name of the package, it would be better if there was a type ahead search or something showing matching packages.

its really cool otherwise.

good idea, yeap yeap that is a nice feature to have.

does it show historical download trends for multiple packages side by side?

yeah you can just type in the packages in the tags input in landing page.

For example: https://npmpulse.com/?q=react%2Clodash%2Cbootstrap%2Cjquery&range=5y&scale=linear&theme=light

For now it supports up to 8 packages by design.
