Add a "trending" search option & section on the front page #1397
Description
Description
Could we add a trending search option & front-page section, highlighting packages that are gaining popularity (i.e. have a quickly increasing downloads number in time period T (e.g. "Last 30 days")?
The constructs.dev discovery experience currently prioritizes (via the search sorting options and "featured" section on the front page) constructs that are:
- All-time popular
- Recently published
- Have names that come early in the alphabet (A-Z sorting)
- Hand-picked featured entries (requires maintenance)
Other than the first option (which contains packages most users already know about, e.g. "AWS CDK" and "Constructs"), there is no good way to quickly see what packages many people find useful, especially recent ones. Because of this, I don't find the constructs.dev website useful, because visiting it more frequently doesn't let me know about cool new things, that are getting traction.
Use Case
Highlight new constructs many users find useful (other than ones everybody knows about already, e.g. official AWS packages), which could promote users to create more & better packages and promote them on other platforms.
