Isn't more open issues just a sign of a older and/or more widely used library? It's not necessarily a bad thing.

- JesseAldridge 8y agoIndeed over time a project will accumulate more stars and issues. It's the ratio that's important. You can think of them as something like upvotes vs downvotes. Except the downvotes are much more meaningful because it takes a drastically greater effort to open a ticket than to star a project.
- marcell 8y agoSure but issues signify actual usage. You open an issue because you’re using the project and ran into a problem, possibly an edge case. A star can be just a low comittmwnt upvote. I’d almost consider open issue to be a good sign.
