We've had some questions on how libraries were selected. Basically, they were manually added and tagged on http://bestof.js.org, and we then reused the data to build the Rising Stars rankings.

So if you see a library missing, it could be because we didn't know about it and didn't add it to the database, or maybe tagged it in a way that excluded it from a specific category. Feedback welcome!

Hey Sacha, we both spoke at NordicJS where we met. You mentioned your survey found a bunch of stats on my library's growth, and I know it has gone up by +3K in 2017 (total of 7K+ now), yet it seems unfortunately left out because gun isn't "tagged" as anything more than a database, not even a NodeJS framework (when it is, at least as much as Feathers is).

30+ projects were highlighted with less than 3K+ increase in stars, so it is just frustrating/disheartening to see mine left out. :/ Any chance there could be a "Everything Else" category or adding "NodeJS Framework" as a tag to us?

Hey, sorry about that! It looks like we do have Gun in the BestOfJS db, so we could add it. Like you said the only problem is figuring out in which category…

Thanks, and great job by the way. Shooting you an email.
