Something like pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun where I can see the popularity of the packages by category, but with many more categories and being able to see which packages are trending.
Here are some related websites that aren’t exactly what I’m looking for:
- aur.archlinux.org
- www.archlinux.de/packages
- repology.org
- pkgs.org
- release-monitoring.org
- reposcope.com
I wrote a script that uses the data from pkgstats.archlinux.de but it doesn’t distinguish between software and libraries so it’s very difficult to find anything useful in the output.
Debian’s popcon has by-category lists, so e.g. here are the most popular packages from the category “shells”, sorted by most installed:
