Market Share

[Tudes]

Any possibility to get the market share percentage for each technology?

[unruledboy]

I tried before, coundn't find update to date and reliable way to figure out the market share:

1. google trends only give you who searched what keyword
2. stackoverflow etc only give you who asked questions about certain tech

Please advise any feasible way. thanks.

I think neither Google Trends nor StackOverflow is reliable. I believe the real data. So you can try this: http://builtwith.com/ .
But as you know, this site also has limitations.

I forked your repo, I'm gonna try a version where I combine different data from builtwith, Google Trends, Stackoverflow, GitHub, just to see what the result will be. If things will go well I think an update every month will do it.

Thanks a lot, please let us know how it goes

Lame suggestion would be github stars for how the front end tool became popular.

[zsxsoft]

So should we import the GitHub Star Loader to the project in the next version?

[unruledboy]

I am ok with that

@brianmontanaweb @unruledboy
Because of the API Limit, I can't get all the stargazers data(Just because I didn't login). Help me.
The simplest way is to run node index updatestargazers

I done

@zsxsoft

what is the usage to store the stargazers count in the json file?

[zsxsoft]

Just because.. Cool =.=

[unruledboy]

@zsxsoft well, maybe we can use it for the ordering?

for example, in JavaScript base library, Zepto has more stars than Prototype, so by the time we render the readme, just sort it by the stars, then Zepto comes before Prototype?

[zsxsoft]

You can see Cordova and Dart

@Tudes do you want to become contributor?

[brianmontanaweb]

It could be based on it's category. So if it's preprocessors: Sass, Less or Stylus. Less, based on stars, would be on top.
