Supply stats for pub authors

[DartBot]

A pub author will be interested in their own stats for their pub packages.

Some stats would include:

• Page views
• Downloads (per version)
• Updates (if we track those differently from initial downloads)

Ideally, pub can allow a pub author to supply their own Google Analytics code for their specific page.

Note on implementation: if we stored all the binaries in google cloud storage, it'd be easy to move the logs into bigquery for analysis. Bonus: we could also use prediction api to offer recommendations for users (users who installed library A also installed library B)

I'd be interested in seeing who have made most packages, and what packages a specific author has made.

NPM has a nice repository: https://npmjs.org/

Some more suggestions:

• read profiles (I should be able to choose my username, manage my packages etc)
• stats (downloads by time/by version)
• overall pub stats (top downloaded, top authors, most updated and so on)

• read profiles (I should be able to choose my username, manage my packages etc)

Managing packages would be great, but username stuff is handled entirely as part of your Google account.

• stats (downloads by time/by version)

• overall pub stats (top downloaded, top authors, most updated and so on)

We actually had a "top downloaded" list for a while, but it was completely skewed by the packages that are downloaded for the Dart Editor samples. I think something like "most depended on" would be a better metric, or even something more advanced like a PageRank-style ranking algorithm.

I'd like to check a count of the package downloaded. Packages in the pub don't have any informations to show us about which that package is the popular.

Looks like no update here for a while. Actually just coming back to work with Dart but things like this are very bothersome. To be honest its not clear at all which packages are most reliable. There are no stars, or downloads, or depended on statistics.

I don't think the wheel needs to be reinvented, the npm site shows the minimum user friendly level required. To illustrate by example I though, hmm maybe there is some EventEmitter type class that I can use, or even just as a new person googling dart event emitter produces numerous results. The list provided on pub-dartlang is not helpful as its not slightly clear which are truly complete. Obviously that would be even worse if the community was flourishing as there could be many packages.

Actually looking back again and comparing I think the key thing that should probably be there is number of stars.
