Common questions

npm weekly package downloads (the most reliable proxy for developer adoption), cross-referenced with Google Search volume for technology terms and Reddit discussion trends for developer communities. Together these give a complete picture of technology momentum.
GitHub stars are a vanity metric easily inflated by marketing campaigns. npm weekly downloads represent actual production usage - developers who have chosen a package for a real project. Trends MCP surfaces download trends and growth rates, not just raw counts.
Yes. Use get_growth with a list of keywords to compare, for example, 'react vs vue vs svelte' across npm, Google Search, and Reddit simultaneously.
