I have found that most of recently released pods have incorrect quality score. As an example, this pod, FlexColorPicker has quality score of 50 (because of penalty for minimal README and empty README).

However there is a README with ScoreMe (same thing you use to score README) score of 95. There should also be bonus for Swift code, the pod is in Swift 4.2 but there is none. Also your website shows 0 GitHub stars while the library has 19 (and more than zero for over 10 months).

All together, quality score of the pod should be 73, not 50. That is a big difference.

Please fix this as it means that quality pods do not show in search while low quality pods do.

I'm not sure how you found the links to the quality scores (they're not on the website anymore) but they've not been used in search in a year or two, I've just not taken down the routes. So don't worry, it's not used anywhere.

  1. What is used to rank pods in search then? My pod is not even shown for term "color picker" which is part of its name and in the describtion while obviously lower quality pods are shown for that term (less stars, old, objective-c, small README).

  2. Links for quality score are on this page, which is publicly available by clicking pod author name. The page itself also shows quality score.

  3. What about incorrect stars, forks, issues count? That is on main pod page and obviosly incorrect.
