Basic Utils

👋 Hi Product Hunt! As developers, we constantly compare open-source libraries, but we often have to juggle multiple tools just to answer simple questions like: “How many people are actually using this?” “Is it gaining traction on GitHub?” That’s why I built NpmStars — a lightweight tool to compare npm downloads and GitHub star history in a single view. 🚀 Why did I create it? I found myself switching between npmtrends for downloads and star-history for GitHub stars. But that fractured view made it harder to get a clear picture of a package’s real-world popularity and growth. I wanted something unified, fast, and simple — so I built it. 🆕 What makes it unique? 📦 Compare npm usage and GitHub traction side-by-side ⚡ No fluff, no login, no API keys — just search and go 🔗 Clean, sharable URLs for easy referencing and embedding 📊 Simple interface with instant visual feedback 💡 What I’m most proud of: NpmStars isn’t just another analytics tool — it’s a tiny, focused utility built for everyday developers. I’m proud of how fast and frictionless it is. Whether you're choosing between libraries or showcasing your own, it gives you actionable insights instantly. Give it a try, and I’d love to hear your feedback! 👉 https://basicutils.com/npmstars
