NuGet's default registry is serviceable, but discovering and comparing packages isn't great.

nugx.org (http://nugx.org/) is an alternative front-end with better search, popularity signals, dependency graphs, and a cleaner UI.

Built with Noundry (C# packages/tooling). Currently in beta — would love feedback on nugx.org.

Very cool — NuGet discovery has definitely felt lacking for a while.

Curious how you’re calculating popularity and ranking. Is it purely download counts, or are you incorporating signals like GitHub activity, release recency, maintenance cadence, etc.?

Thanks! the ranking is based on download counts and release cadence. I'm tweaking based on feedback. Also updating the related/similar packages and the 'setups.'

Really cool! NuGet's biggest gap for me has always been evaluating packages quickly, like figuring out if something is actively maintained or has a transitive dependency nightmare before you've already committed to it.

Thank you! Yes! Same for me. I built this as a first pass. Look for frequent updates. I really am trying to push tooling and C# DX. Feels like Python/Typescript gets all the love these days.
