Ask HN: Criteria for judging JavaScript project?
I'm thinking about making a JS lib/framework comparison site, something like ruby-toolbox.com but for JS. And I need some objective/subjective criteria for comparing projects.
# Objective
I plan to use npmjs.com and github.com API to retrieve data and get some objective criteria. Apart from the apparent star/watcher/fork counts, NPM downloads, I come up with:
- Issue Open/Close ratio
- Issue creation frequency
- Commits frequency
- Star increase frequency
Q: What are some of the objective and calculable criteria that you would use to judge a JS project?
# Subjective
I want to add user comment/rating for each project. I'm thinking about adding rating for:
- Code quality
- Doc quality
- Mail-list/Issue tracker responsiveness/helpfulness
Q: Are there other subjective criteria that you would find helpful for judging a project?
- mostlystatic 11y agoFile size could be a criterion for front-end libs.
