It is my observation that whenever a gem version is released, there is a spike in downloads, most likely from bots and mirrors.

It would very useful to be able to see how often a gem has been versioned because it would make it much easier to discriminate between version churn and "organic" growth.

In my own studies, I plot downloads per version. Manually :-(

Hello, Peter.

I am an administrator of BestGems.org. Thank you for your comment.

I interested in the problem which is caused by a gem version changes too. Just as I am considering renewal of BestGems.org. Likely, new version BestGems.org will draw the date on which the gem was released on charts.

Does this change satisfy your needs?

PeterCamilleri commented 7 years ago

That would be most useful and should give me the information I need for my research. Thank you for creating such an excellent web site and for replying to my request so quickly.

xmisao commented 7 years ago

I will try to release the new BestGems.org :-)

Over a year gone by, any news?

xmisao commented 6 years ago

@PeterCamilleri Sorry for the wait. I have not forgotten your request. However, due to career change and other reasons, I have not spent enough time developing the bestgems.
