Module Usage Statistics for a "node-toolbox"

[secoif]

When faced with the massive number of nodejs modules, doing a simple task such as picking a testing framework can become somewhat daunting. 

The ruby community has: 

http://ruby-toolbox.com

This site gives you a quick overview of what modules people are using for certain tasks (eg, most people use devise/authlogic for authentication and cucumber/rspec for testing).  

ruby-toolbox gies you a good place for newbies to start, knowing that they're using the a decent set of tools.

Perhaps some kind of combination between github activity + number npm installs could be used to create some kind of metric to sort modules? Does anyone know if npm collects such statistics?

There used to be a site called nithub that did exactly this, but it seems to be down:

Anyone know what happened to it?

You mean this?: http://nithub.duostack.net/

That's almost exactly what I'm talking about, except with less information presented upfront, more sensible categories, and sexier.

Clone it on github and get to it! ;) nithub was a 2 day project, and pretty useful (for me) in its primitive state. It's not intended to be any more than it is.

The categories can only be as good as the original module keywords without manual curating/organizing.
