Libraries.io

The open source discovery of libraries for programmers

Libraries.io launched on March 16, 2015 with 150 votes, #172 of 2,697 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

What it does

Libraries.io indexes data from 2,394,059 projects from 33 package managers. We monitor project releases, analyse each project's code, community, distribution and documentation, and we map the relationships between projects when they're declared as a dependency. The 'dependency tree' that emerges is the core of the services that we provide.

Discover open source packages, modules and frameworks you can use in your code.

Libraries.io monitors 11,871,086 open source packages across 32 different package managers. Libraries.io is a free service that collects publicly available open source package information scraped from the internet. With it you can search 9.96M packages by license, language, or explore new, trending, or popular packages. Data available via Libraries.io is scraped from the internet and not validated, corrected, or curated for accuracy. If you are looking to make important decisions about open source usage and management, consider our paid offering: The Tidelift Subscription . The Tidelift Subscription provides a curated source of open source package data backed by Tidelift and our maintainer…from libraries.io

    tl;dr we at Escape (YC W23), we scanned 5651+ public APIs on the internet with our in house feedback driven API exploration tech, and ranked them using security, performance, reliability, and design criteria. The results are public on https://apirank.dev. You can request that we index your own API to the list for free and see how it compares to others. Why we did that? During a YC meetup I spoke with a fellow founder that told me how hard it was to pick the right external APIs to use within your own projects. I realized that most of what we build relies on public APIs from external…

  • Talanoa▲339

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
