> I maintain 100+ open source projects which are downloaded 100+ million times per month. 🧙 ️

https://github.com/feross

I would encourage you to check for a healthy amount of community contribution being accepted before adopting an OSS project.



About half the README content: https://github.com/feross/funding#who-is-feross

And, if you grep the dependency tree of standard/standard it's pulling in at least 10 modules from the same author

And, there's plenty of ways to juice the download count... My most successful project in this regard is a private Docker image which got pulled like a million times by AWS ECS retry loop when I accidentally pushed an image that crashed+exited immediately

Which is to say, you and I would do well to emulate this Successful Winner who is also a Community Leader
