Is popularity related to quality?

Read Original

This article details a data analysis project investigating the relationship between popularity and quality in NPM packages. The author downloads metadata for nearly 1.9 million packages and uses npms.io's quality metrics to explore if more popular packages tend to be of higher quality, concluding that popularity can be a useful indicator but not an absolute rule.
