Edit: New repository . Hello Julia community! I just created a repository to host a vision I have had for a long time: JuliaPackageComparisons The goal of the repository is to create a canonical and updated web resource to help users navigate the complex and ever-changing julia package ecosystem. T…

I don’t have much to contribute, just want to say that a resource such as this would be very handy to have! Thanks for the initiative on getting it rolling

Thanks, this will be very convenient! Regarding, “Some packgages try to alleviate this problem by having a “See also” or “Related packges” section in the bottom of their readme. This is a bandaid-fix, as a) work is duplicated if each package repository has this section, and b) there are few guide…

Those are good points. So piping packages could use that comparison more or less directly! I will make an issue to remebmer to do that.

In case it’s any inspiration, I recently did that work with the graphs ecosystem. Will try to contribute it to your repo when I find the time [image] The graphs ecosystem General Usage Hey everyone, The very fruitful discussion on fixing package fragmentation started fro…

That post of yours is amazing! It is exactly the type of content I want to make discoverable and keep updated. A PR adding that section would be very welcome! Here is an issue to remind us to do this, whoever find the time first :slight_smile:

That webpage looks a lot like what I am hoping to create, and it looks great! My vision is however slightly different than what I see there: My aim is to create a resource that takes the role of an experienced user/developer that guides a new user through the relevant packes. This means that a lot …

Maybe two parts of the same website would be better than two website?

I envision a website with a per-field/organization comparison matrix that compares packages with important algorithms/functions in that field, like mesamatrix.com does.

Perhaps https://mesamatrix.net/ ? Comparison matrices are an important tool for comparisons of packages. But I definitively want much more than that as guidance when I chose between packages. I know that often will mean subjective content, but as long as it comes from the users and developers togeth…
