- whazor 9y agoAs it is ranked based on new stars in 2017, not total amount of stars.
- jondubois 9y agoAnd it doesn't say much about usage. There are projects which get a lot of stars because people think that it looks cool at a glance but which nobody uses.
- dawnerd 9y agoFlip side I rarely Star anything I use because, well really doesn’t do anything for me. If anything they should be using npm data instead and seeing what real usage is rather than someone clicking an icon on github.
- pluma 9y agoFirst of all, that is "stars added in that year", not "stars total". Secondly, shouldn't the fact that that would have made Polymer #3 given you some thought? Polymer has ~19k stars total. React has ~85k stars total. Vue has ~80k stars total. AngularJS (v1) has ~58k stars total. Angular (v2+) has ~32k stars total. Ember has ~18.6k stars total. Preact has ~17k stars total. So Polymer is behind React, Vue, AngularJS and Angular on total stars, having just surpassed Ember. Placing it 3rd in the rising stars list would have placed it before Angular. I'd think "Polymer is more popular than Angular" would have been pretty newsworthy.
- ernsheong 9y agoOops, my bad. I guess this is the reality I didn't want to embrace. Everyone reinventing their own "standards".
