Agreed. I actually spent about an hour on Tuesday looking for alternatives to outdated JS libraries, and every one of these "alternatives" sites listed mostly tangentially related libraries and very few actual alternatives. I imagine they're mostly generated by user behavior somehow, but something could use tweaking for sure.
- addandsubtract 5y agoI'm surprised no one has mentioned it here, but I'm a fan of npmtrends[0]. You can search for npm libraries that you know, and it will recommend related searches for you. Then it'll compare them based on downloads over time and show their github activity at the bottom. I use this every time I need to find a new library.

- jacobmischka 5y agoThanks for the link, bookmarked!
- culi 5y agoOn that note, another slept-on website is OpenBase[0] which allows you to find and rate alternatives to different packages/libraries and gives you information like weekly downloads, github stars, last commit, etc. It really makes a big difference in comparing different options [0] https://openbase.com/ https://openbase.com/
