Show HN: Django.wtf – Package Index for Django
I've built a site for discovery and ranking of Django packages. It uses Github to crawl for new packages and I manually categorize the popular packages.
I've used https://djangopackages.org/ https://djangopackages.org/ in the past to discover cool libraries, but decided I wanted to build something with a slicker design. I also wanted to find "surging" packages that are gaining a lot of stars relative to the total star count. https://django.wtf/trending/ https://django.wtf/trending/. The same can be done for package maintainers: https://django.wtf/profiles/trending/ https://django.wtf/profiles/trending/
I'm considering open sourcing the project once I clean it up.
- anze3db 3y agoLooks like a cool project! I really like the idea of seeing surging packages, but I probably won't remember to check your site every week. I'd be happy to sign up to a mailing list to receive the surge list in my inbox every week or two. PS: As an author of a Django package my first question was where is the data coming from, and why isn't my package listed.
- reowii 3y agoI use a combination of Github topics and parsing of the README to determine if a package is Django related. Can you pass me the link to your repo and I'll take a look? I'll see if I can build some sort of mailing feature :-)
