Allow sorting /modnames/ by number of depender

Open Zughy opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Problem

There are a few mods used by a lot of people, but it's hard to tell without some sort of leaderboard

Solutions

Put a section for that. In this way, if some of those mods have critical bugs or it's not updated anymore, it'll be easier for people to know

Alternatives

can't think of any

Are you referring to dependencies rather than users?

Yes

The homepage is aimed at users, not developers, so showing most depended on libraries probably won't be that useful for them

It's further complicated by the fact that packages don't depend on packages, they depend on mod names. ContentDB calls mod names metapackages, would an acceptable fix to this be allowing this list to be sorted by dependers? So you could see which mod names are the most depended on https://content.minetest.net/metapackages/

Yes, I guess it'd help
