Evaluate NPM packages by listing top GitHub projects that depend on them
NPM Graph is something like a reverse package.json - it allows you to see what GitHub projects depend on a given NPM package.
This allows you to:
✔ Find usage examples on the best maintained projects
✔ Evaluate the field-maturity of any NPM package
✔ Compare packages right in the search results page
✔ See package description and popularity on GitHub package.json pages (NEW!)
✔ Find projects that use an intersection of NPM packages (soon)
✔ See the popularity trend of the package (soon)
✔ Algorithmically Find similar packages (soon)

3. Mix with several graph algorithms and lots of imagination
4. Expose results as an API
5. GOTO 2:

Doesn't seem to work any longer, at least not in enhancing NPMJS.com site.
If this extension didn't exist, i would made one.
Provides another and better metric to determine whether an NPM module is a good choice.
Great extension! This is extremely very useful as a developer, as I often ponder which packages should or shouldn't I include in my projects. A++
Amazing. This should be built into npm.
