I’ve reservations about an unofficial WordPress plugins site like that (and that’s not you it’s my hang up) so I’ll just come right out and say it.
It’s a really well designed and thought out site.
I’m dying to know, how did you get the WordPress plugin stats? RSS feeds or do you scrape the repository somehow?
Well, at first glance it’s impressive, but is it legit? First of all, is it allowed/sporting at all, and, second, I notice the data doesn’t actually match what’s on WP.org so… what is it?
Beautiful, though.
@jan Dembowski – Glad that you liked it 🙂 Well WP has APIs, right? We pulled the stats from main repo using one of the APIs. The stats, votes, download counts, updates everything’s been done through API
@sunrader – Yes, It’s 100% legit and nice to know that you liked it 🙂
Well about .ORG data mismatch. Our site WPD.org pulls the stats by using WordPress API. Everyday we activate the API(No fixed time whenever we are free) to update the stats from main repo to show on WPD.org, so if you see mismatch that’s because either we haven’t activated the API to upkeep with the main repo stats, or the WordPress.org hasn’t updated their stats(sometimes it takes time to show the updated stats).
