Ask HN: Tool to compare OSS communities to each other
3 points by atwong 1 year ago | 4 commentsI'll be even more specific. Say I'm an OSS OLAP database and I want to have as much mindshare as Trino. Is there a tool that can tell me how I compare my OSS product/community to theirs. I'm thinking along several dimensions.
- Technical Parity: Focus on core functionality, performance, and query compatibility with Trino.
- Ecosystem Parity: Ensure smooth integration with existing tools and ecosystem.
- Community Parity: Strive for similar levels of user engagement, contribution, and support.
The closest I've seen is just measuring my own community using Common Room (commonroom.io) but they don't provide scorecard features that track key KPIs (they do track new members numbers and engagement rates but want more) and telling me what we need to work on. Thoughts?
- GarethX 1 year agoNot sure about the rest, but these are a few tools that can help with the community parity part: https://opensauced.pizza, https://www.crowd.dev, and https://bitergia.com

Thanks for the mention. We have been chatting with maintainers this past year and recommend new contributors as the best metric to start identifying repo health.
Another example is the rate of selection, how many contributors outside the core team or employees.
We plan to expose more metrics like these in app really soon.
