## What it is
Software Galaxies is an interactive web visualization that renders major software package manager ecosystems (npm, Bower, Composer, RubyGems, Go, CRAN, etc.) as explorable 3D star galaxies. Each package is a star positioned by dependency similarity, with search and navigation built in.

## Use cases
- visualize the npm package ecosystem as an interactive galaxy
- explore dependency relationships between packages visually
- find similar packages by proximity in a package manager graph
- browse and search packages across multiple ecosystems like composer and rubygems
- create engaging visualizations of software registries for talks or education

## When to choose
- you want an intuitive, visual way to explore large package ecosystems
- you need a demo or teaching aid showing scale and structure of package registries
- you want to discover related packages through spatial clustering rather than keyword search

## When to avoid
- you need precise dependency resolution or programmatic access to package metadata
- you want up-to-the-minute registry data rather than periodically indexed snapshots
- you need a production dependency analysis tool rather than an exploratory visualization
