Some insights in prebuild-install downloads

[mathiask88]

I was interested in the prebuild download counts for my native module and I thought it may be interesting to see these for the top 10 prebuild-install dependents.

@mathiask88 Any tool you feel like sharing?

[mathiask88]

Sure, I can make a CLI tool out of my code.

I still think about the numbers.. bufferutil has ~80k downloads/week and the latest release is 2 month old, but the accumulated github release download count is only 60k. Either there are missing prebuilts or npm and github count different. Am I missing something? Edit: Or does the caching mechanism have such a big impact?

[ralphtheninja]

So github download count is 60k in total? It seems like it. Should be possible to test otherwise.

@ralphtheninja Sorry for the delay, but I finally created a repo for prebuild-stats Don't expect too much functionality :D

[mathiask88]

@ralphtheninja May I transfer the prebuild-stats repo to this org? I think it fits best here.

@mathiask88 Do it! 😄
