Contributing
I'm in the process of figuring out how to populate data.json. I crawled npm starting at the 1000 most popular packages from 2019 and all their dependencies.
You're welcome to report your recommendations what to ignore or keep as pull requests to data.json.
The file also contains a todo section with the packages I found but didn't review yet. I'll appreciate PRs with work on that too.
