I don't understand why Wordpress is considered a platform next to npm, bower, pypi etc.

Re: Libraries.io – Open-Source Discovery Service
#12It would be great if:
- it sorted searches by GitHub starts (otherwise for any popular thing, you get first tons of stuff, in a non-relevant order),
- for PyPI, there is also anther figure of merit, i.e. no of downloads (most are open source, but some are on other repositories),
- in general, for Python it misses some very popular packages... for example, http://libraries.io/search?q=networkx is from PyPI but not from Python (why?).
Otherwise, a very needed idea! I wanted to do my own some time ago (http://pypi.meteor.com/), but didn't have time to bring it to a useful (or nice) version.

And, for some packages clearly being on GitHub, it does not find their place, e.g. http://libraries.io/pypi/pandas vs https://github.com/pydata/pandas (4k+ stars).

You can sort by stars, there's just not a UI yet: http://libraries.io/search?order=desc&sort=stars
Pypi is lacking in information but I'm working on pulling it from other sources to improve the quality for Python libraries.

#15weird there's no not many python entries... where it seems there's way more than 16k package in it (ie: https://alexgaynor.net/2014/jan/03/pypi-download-statistics/)

#16Browsing C++ and coming up mostly with nodejs libraries. http://libraries.io/search?languages=C%2B%2B&order=desc&sort...
Currently I'm only pulling data from package managers like rubygems and npm, I couldn't find a C++ one yet, although https://www.biicode.com/ looks handy for that, I'll investigate.
include [0] lists reusable Qt libraries.

#17Quick feedback:
Browsing the Go section, each sub directory(at all depths) in the Docker project seems to be listed as a separate project. Leads to showing a few pages of results linking to the same project(ie, Docker). Also may explain why Go seems to have far more number of projects listed than anything else. :)
Update: Better wording

For PyPI it is rather straightforward to get downloads information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21419009/json-api-for-pyp... (along with some other data, e.g. categorization). See example: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/seaborn/json
Re: Libraries.io – Open-Source Discovery Service
#19A few of the OCaml projects are showing up under Standard ML [1]. A little disappointing since anyone using OCaml would really benefit from finding out about Merlin (see the link).
This is due to a recent issue (or regression) with how GitHub's Linguist disambiguates code, which I hope will be fixed soon [2].

At the moment we lean completely on linguist for language detection, which isn't perfect but gets us a good amount of the way there.
Once we've got OPAM support more OCaml libraries will start to show up.
