Always when i want to search for packages in Julia I find myself struggling which one to search:  
[https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages](https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages)  
[https://juliapackages.com/](https://juliapackages.com/)

Can someone tell me which one is the one to use? I would also be interested in the reasons why there are multiple websites and not one like PyPI or [crates.io](http://crates.io)

Kind regards to everyone ^^

[juliapackages.com](http://juliapackages.com) is older, from before [juliahub.com](http://juliahub.com) was a thing. It’s also updated less often - e.g. a package of mine that’s been registered in the `General` registry for a month now still isn’t on [juliapackages.com](http://juliapackages.com). It’s also important to note that both juliapackages and juliahub are simply listing the contents of the [General registry](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General) - they are not the primary sources of the packages themselves.

I personally always use [juliahub.com](http://juliahub.com) when searching for packages.

[juliapackages.com](http://juliapackages.com) seems to be curated to some degree: [JuliaPackages.com or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the ChatGPT](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/juliapackages-com-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-chatgpt/100341/)
