Cool idea. Is that really the only 3 places to check tho? npmjs, GitHub & sourceforge? Have to admit I did this just to see what places there where. How about packaging systems for other languages, like Composer for PHP, PyPI for Python? Or even OS's, like the Debian package repository?
Cool! Adding them right now to txt file, i will implement it today/tomorrow
Like the idea, but I'm having trouble interpreting the output. I searched for "stringer" (the name of one of my open source projects) and I see "npmjs" "sourceforge" and "github" with a neutral smile-y face - what does that mean?
neutral smile should mean that name is already used by somebody else in this case i think that's you
I'm not sure what it's checking on github.
It would probably make a lot of sense to check more of the popular package management hosts too (which all, by their nature, offer convenient API's for doing so). CPAN, Rubygems, PyPI, Bower.
