Something like pkgstats.archlinux.de/fun where I can see the popularity of the packages by category, but with many more categories and being able to see which packages are trending.

Here are some related websites that aren’t exactly what I’m looking for:

I wrote a script that uses the data from pkgstats.archlinux.de but it doesn’t distinguish between software and libraries so it’s very difficult to find anything useful in the output.

    This is such a great idea, I never knew I wanted this either (and now I do).

    Would be a great bit of feedback for the Arch devs, or even a pull request.

    One way to identify libs could be looking at the package contents list since libs would write predominantly to /usr/lib and /usr/include (ignore writes to /usr/share) and probably no writes to /usr/bin. Not perfect but could give you a vague idea how to differentiate between bins and libs.
