I'm not sure why you think having 50K people think your project is worthy of a bookmark ISN'T an accomplishment. Seems pretty noteworthy all by itself.

- amorphid 10y agoI use stars as a metric in deciding which unfamiliar library seems to be real. It's right up where with number of downloads, and most recent commits. Not a perfect system. Just a sniff test.
- mipmap04 10y agoI'd say it's a fairly reliable metric. Plus, it tends to lead me towards thinking "If all these other people could use this for their needs, I bet I can too".
- ino 10y agoIf you star the official fb php SDK for example, it's just to keep up with having to rewrite the fb part of your app every couple of months because you've composer updated the sdk (Best practice, lol). It's unbelievable the number and pace of breaking changes. As an advice, it's less work to disregard the sdk and implement using curl. Very sloppy and unprofessional from a company that was born, grew and even made their own php.
- mipmap04 10y agoWell, they do carry the motto "move fast and break things". I suppose that's the price of admission for playing with FB.
- eatbitseveryday 10y agoYou're assuming bookmarks are made because people find it "good". I may come across something poorly done, bookmark it either because I intend to improve it later, or maybe it's a good example of bad design, or ... etc.
