This seems like it could be really useful. How do you deal with sites that might block you?

You're right that GitHub stars probably isn't the best metric of how good a plugin is. We try to use a more unbiased metric of relative # of actual users, and this we get by scraping dotfiles repos on GitHub, looking for references to Vim plugins. That's shown as the # users count to the left of stars on GitHub. It's also not perfect, but it's a useful source of relative usage statistics.

In fact, this was the first React project that he worked on -- he rewrote our old angular app within a week of when React first came out, and had been hooked since.

Thank you! Wanting such a thing is why we built it. :)

Hi! Thank you for checking this out!

The reason for the mis-match between # of plugins and tags count is the tags count only counts plugins with that tag in the category the tag is nested under. I agree this is quite confusing, and should just make the two views consistent. I'll add an issue to GitHub about it.

Each category has a distinct color.

> Other->'manager x 3' shows no results

Oh, we hide plugin mangers right now, so no results are shown. :( Will fix this to be nicer, thanks.
