Ask HN: Tool to compare OSS communities to each other.
I’m looking for help from the larger community. I’m looking for tools to help compare OSS communities to each other.
I’ll be even more specific. Say I’m an OSS OLAP database and I want to have as much mindshare as Trino. Is there a tool that can tell me how I compare my OSS product/community to theirs. I’m thinking along several dimensions.
- Technical Parity: Focus on core functionality, performance, and query compatibility with Trino.
- Ecosystem Parity: Ensure smooth integration with existing tools and ecosystem.
- Community Parity: Strive for similar levels of user engagement, contribution, and support.
The closest I’ve seen is just measuring my own community using Common Room (commonroom.io) but they don’t provide scorecard features that track key KPIs (they do track new members numbers and engagement rates but want more) and telling me what we need to work on. Thoughts?
