temple3188··on Show HN: See what other NPM packages everyone else is using
Yeah this is definitely the next thing to be done, a number of people have been asking for it so hopefully it'll live in the next few days.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I noticed it would be useful to cluster related packages together, that was the thinking behind introducing the filters to the right-hand side e.g. framework, test etc. When you click them it will toggle the view.

I was hoping I could rely on the keywords associated with the package to cluster them, though as it turns there's not a lot of love for the keywords section, meaning clustering them would take manual effort. Doing it myself isn't feasible and I though about creating the means for users to contribute the info, just wanted to wait for demand for it first :).

Thanks!

You're right, at the moment I treat both dependencies and devDependencies the same, it made sense just to get an idea of what people were using, though a nice feature would be to differentiate between them. Thanks!

Yeah I did think about this, however after looking at https://www.npmjs.com/ I felt their 'packages people npm install a lot' kind of satisfied that criteria.

I could put something along the lines of 'Top 10 most discovered packages' based on data from the site :)
