Show HN: NpmStars by BasicUtils – Compare NPM downloads and GitHub stars

I built NpmStars by BasicUtils to solve a simple but important problem: how can you quickly understand the popularity of an npm package?

npmtrends shows downloads. star-history shows GitHub stars. But I always wanted one tool that combined both — in a fast, clean, and no-login experience.

So I built NpmStars:

- Compare npm downloads and GitHub stars in a single view - Daily, weekly, monthly download trends - GitHub star growth over time - Side-by-side visualizations - Sharable URLs with query preserved - Built with Next.js, React, and Recharts

I hope this helps devs, maintainers, and OSS researchers make smarter decisions when evaluating packages.

Would love feedback, suggestions, and ideas to improve it!
