Momentum Index
Computed 2026-08-05 over a 90-day window.
Methodology
- Components: star velocity (weight 0.4), download growth (weight 0.3), release cadence (weight 0.3).
- Each component is a z-score within its category; weights are renormalized over the components that actually have data. Missing data never becomes a number.
- Inputs come from official APIs (GitHub, npm, crates.io) with per-fact capture dates.
