What lacks on npmjs.com

On npmjs.com you can search for packages. But the rating is limited to npm itself. It cannot get the data from github as main git repo service for most node packages. And the search possibilities is limited due the database couchDB.

What this projects want to solve

The main targets are:

• Search by other fields than just package name.
• Fulltext search
• Show the github stars, forks and watches and - of course - the npmjs.com stars
• Update the index itself

What is working

• Search is working
• Update is partial working

What needs to be done

Update / Refresh

The update process should be done in a background task. It should be able to pause if the limits on github exceeded the current capacity.

Make user accounts

• Store filters
• Notifications on new items in the filter or changes on stars
• Search with user's github token (extend limited token capacity)
