I'd love to see categories added to crates.io kind of like ruby-toolbox.com. Categories as well as repository activity information is helpful for discovering libraries that will suit your needs. Since there are so many ruby gems, it is now hard to properly categorize gems, and ruby-toolbox doesn't do the best job of this anymore. I found it to be very helpful years ago. Ruby-toolbox is still helpful in that it can show some similar projects and show project activity to help you see which projects have more momentum.
- steveklabnik 12y agoIf you look at each project's page, for example, https://crates.io/crates/gl_generator https://crates.io/crates/gl_generator was the first when I loaded up crates.io, on the right there's a "Keywords" section.
- mrinterweb 12y agoFantastic. Not sure how I missed that. Edit: There are plenty of crates not categorized, and that must be how I didn't see this feature.
