Show IH: A web app to search on NPM and Github

TLDR; - I made a search app to find packages/repos on NPM and Github and list them out with their info pulled from both the platforms along with the ability to try them out using online embedded code editor. Here's the link: https://libstack.dev. LMK your feedback.

What is LibStack - It's an app to search for packages on NPM registry and Github. The search results would consist of stats (downloads per week, stars, watchers, forks and bugs) from both platforms.

How does it work - You go to the home page link (https://libstack.dev) and search for a package let's say lodash. The app would search it on NPM and Github and show you results on SERP (https://libstack.dev/#/search?query=lodash) with all the stats.

What else does it provide - Once you click on the title of any of the search results, the app takes you to the package page (https://libstack.dev/#/lodash/lodash) where the documentation of the package is displayed along with stats. It also opens a coding playground for users to try out the package before downloading it.

Is that it - That's it for now however in future features like package tracking, rating and sponsoring, ability to know trending packages and better search with a ranking algorithm would be part of LibStack.

That's nice but what do you want from me - Tell me, would you use this app if it had all the stuff I'm talking about? Give me feedback, that's all I need. All your shout outs, your complaints, your suggestions are welcomed. With your assessment I can make this app better and more useful.

Happy searching!!
