Feature request: display average monthly growth rate
Similar to #28 but should be a lot less work.
When I look at a comparison like this: https://www.npmtrends.com/swr-vs-react-query I can tell that react-query is growing faster than swr, but it's sorta hard to tell how much faster.
This is even more true when one package is much larger than another, like this – is koa or fastify or express growing faster? no idea whatsoever.
I think this could be displayed as a column in the stats table, or just below the table, or perhaps on hover over the library labels.
The calculation should be relatively simple, using data available on the frontend.
I support the idea.
Only "average monthly growth rate" is not a good measure of growth.
What needs to be done is a linear regression of the data. In JS this is done trivially with math.linearRegression.
Depending on the time range that the user is viewing, it could be indicated what the growth rate was in that period, which would be the slope.
