Show HN: Pkg Stats – NPM discovery and stats viewer

Hi, Pkg Stats is a little tool that evolved from a quick day project that I threw together to help me monitor the downloads of my published packages. I wanted a way to easily scan how my packages were being used, and help me prioritize which of them I should focus on.

It was also an example project to help get my feet wet with Next.js + React for a client project that was on the horizon, so I decided to expand on it and make it more like a real project with various types of routing and endpoints.

The weird thing is, it’s now become my defacto way to search and browse packages while I’m working on projects since the data is condensed and surfaces more information, I can quickly see how popular and maintained a package is. I hope you find it as useful as I have.
