Hi all, we've made something that should be particularly interesting to the community here: The Swift Package Index. The project indexes SPM packages and presents various stats like popularity, maturity, activity, number of releases - and more. We hope it's going to be a great resource for the Swift community.
Please take a look at https://swiftpackageindex.com and let us know what you think!
Dave (@daveverwer) & Sven (@finestructure)
Thanks for posting it @finestructure - Happy to chip in with any answers that I can too!
everyone
pretty cool index aggregation hub! 
Looks amazing! Very clean and fast.
Would you consider removing Google Analytics though please.
Nice work on this! The package stats feature is very cool. 
i tried to add my own package to the list and run the validate.swift script, but it does not specify a swift version and is not compiling on my environment. i tried with swift 4.2, 5.0.1, 5.2 (which is the version matching the xcode in your github action workflow), and the latest nightly build.
output with 4.2:

This is strange: I tried this earlier with 5.2 and got Killed: 9 
With 5.2.4 on the other hand it worked.
I’ll need to take a look as to why that’s completely dying on my machine. Thanks for reporting it!
That's a great point, I didn't notice that it starts tracking without consent. I've created an issue: Remove Google Analytics or ask user's permission · Issue #411 · SwiftPackageIndex/SwiftPackageIndex-Server · GitHub
i’m not sure this is the same issue, the problem i am running into is a compilation error, not a runtime error. i think it probably has something to do with foundation incompatibilities between macos and linux.
