Reviews for code packages? #100

Closed HeroicNate closed 9 years ago

HeroicNate commented 9 years ago

I've been primarily a web designer with actionscript experience and I'm just getting started for the first time in Visual Studio and a project I am trying to do needs a NuGet/GitHub package.

Are there any reviews on packages that let you know whether people have found the packages good, broken, or malicious? I find it very hard to get info on this sort of thing and most people are not interested in helping. All I can find are issue lists, but those aren't exactly reviews. Is there any sort of peer review when it comes to code packages?

There are currently no reviews. For NuGet packages, the download counts is about the only thing you have. That and using Google to search the package URL or package name.
