## What it is
Best of JS is a web application that tracks GitHub star counts daily for a curated list of ~2000 open-source projects related to the web platform and Node.js, surfacing trends over days, weeks, and months. It is organized as a monorepo containing a web frontend, backend, admin app, and supporting packages.

## Use cases
- discover trending javascript open-source projects
- track github star growth over time for popular libraries
- find the best ui frameworks and component libraries for web development
- stay up to date with the javascript and node.js ecosystem
- compare popularity of frontend and backend frameworks
- find charting and data visualization libraries

## When to choose
- you want a curated, community-maintained directory of notable web platform projects
- you need trend data showing when stars were added, not just totals
- you want to discover hot new projects in the JS/TS ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need exhaustive coverage of all GitHub projects rather than a curated list
- you need metrics beyond GitHub stars such as downloads or usage data
- you want a self-hosted analytics tool for your own repositories
