Who is using this? #250

Description

@prettydiff

The download stats are all over the place and yesterday the application was downloaded about 483,000 times on NPM: http://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=prettydiff

Here is what I know:

  • I guesstimate about 18,000 users come from the awesome atom-beautify package where it is primarily used to beautify LESS, SCSS, XML, and JSX: https://atom.io/packages/atom-beautify
  • Based upon past issues I know there is some amount of usage directly on the command line but I don't know how much
  • Most of the NPM downloads come from either outside NPM or from declaring this application as a devDependency. If packages are using this application as a devDependency I don't know which ones.

I have absolutely no idea where the traffic is coming from, who is using this, and why anybody would choose this application. I cannot make this application better if I don't know what better means and I can't define better unless I know something about the users. In the mean time I will continue to:

  • find and patch defects
  • improve the documentation
  • fulfill requests

    I've been using PrettyDiff for quite some time now, mostly due to the amount of customization I can have with the languages I use it with (css, html, xml, and javascript). If I could have it my way I'd like to see more formatting options for ES6.

    Keep up the fantastic work, it is much appreciated -- I'm sure everyone who uses this would agree.

    On a side note: I'd also like to see atom-beautify add support for a .prettydiffrc file so that we can start using options it doesn't otherwise support.

    @animecyc Thanks for the kind words. I am a maintainer on atom-beautify now, so I will start working on pull requests for the remaining options in the near future.
