This would require some visual design work, and we currently don't have anyone with that skill set. If you are able to help do let us know!

OK! A good first step could be to add functionality to the site to get the download counts periodically, so we know the latest values.

Hex now has build tool filtering, so we can get this information more easily 🎉

edit: OK! The package site now syncs download counts twice a day.
