What's the calculation for the ratings? Also would be great if there are sorting options. Otherwise this is really great!

three sorting options: recent, popular, trending. What kind of sorting were you looking for?

Would be great if all the packages on Bower were presented like this.

Potentially each item could have a bower package name or endpoint that you can copy and paste into terminal?

That sounds great, would definitely save some time.

Confusing name. It's not a db engine built with javascript.

Is imdb a new NoSQL database?

That site looks clean! Do you know who developed it?

That would be pretty nifty, a NoSQL store backed by the delay-line memory[1] of IRC.

hovering over ratings: "Overall JSDB.io Rating (derrived from combination of the other metrics)"

So I guess that means the rating are based on some formula of: stars + average time between commit + forks + contributes

My only problem is that doesn't this rating favor larger projects (Angular or Ember) as opposed to smaller projects that are perfect for solving small problems? The only way I can see around that is if stars has an overwhelming weight in the formula.

Anyways, looks helpful none the less (will look though it)

Hey! (I made this) Stars do have more rating than the other metrics, which evens things out. Yes, larger libraries like jQuery are rating higher because of the ranking system, but thats actually accurate if you are looking at 'popularity'; furthermore, there are only a few projects that are on this scale.

Try 'trending' if you want to see libraries that are growing quickly.
