Here's the quick description that I would have added if there was both url and text in the initial submission:
Ever wondered if it's worth using a gem? ShouldIGem will generate a report card for a gem of your choice. Gems are graded on things like documentation, freshness, support and popularity. ShouldIGem's goal is to help you narrow down which gems you should use in your next project.
Note - The term "gem" is more branding at this point (I am a Rubyist) but it works for any project on Github - C, Node, Python, Rust, etc.
- brudgers 9y agoAn interesting idea. I'm wondering how freshness relates to stability and which is more valuable.
- fuzzygroup 9y agoHi there, Creator here. That's an excellent question and one that I am trying to address but, honestly, I don't have a full answer for yet. I tend to be biased in terms of freshness since things change so rapidly these days but there are certainly open source projects such as QMail or Bind which certainly aren't fresh but are absolutely stellar. Food for thought. Thank you.
- Retr0spectrum 9y agoIt would be nice if there was a bit more transparency in how the ratings were actually calculated.
