Table enhancements will appear after a few minutes for the first repos. 📊 "Engagement" shows how long repos have used your dependency. 🌟 "New leads" are repos that recently added it. 🔄 We can also track if people remove the dependency and mark them as churned.

🔍 Our discovery features are truly groundbreaking. We employ various methods to identify repositories that depend on your dependency, but we primarily leverage our existing database. In this example, we'll search for repositories using Remix. 📂

Trying to power through my reading list before the year's out! Just finished a great read about how Steve Jobs masterfully sold his vision and his products. I think it's so fantastic that I'm going to share my notes.

After extensive testing of both aistudio.google.com and OpenAI's new $200 o1, I must say... Google is starting to become the more favorable choice—especially since it’s free.
