add stats section

Mockup:

I can help with this if you are interested. Is there an API endpoint that would provide this data?

[phated]

I don't think there's an API that gets both installs and plugins. Installs would come from npm and plugins would come from npmsearch. The companies and seconds saved would be static, I'm guessing.

API for npm downloads - https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/download-counts.md

Example: https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-day/gulp
Results:

  {
    "downloads": 159388,
    "start": "2017-10-25",
    "end": "2017-10-25",
    "package": "gulp"
  }

Note: Maximum amount of data is the last 365 days so maybe it could be the number of installs in the last month or something?

Do you like the look of this? It's just mocked up with static data I did last night.

And I have found the plugin count based on a search.

API for Related Plurgins - https://api-docs.npms.io/#api-Search-ExecuteSearchQuery

Probably could grab the total out of the response.

Example: https://api.npms.io/v2/search?q=gulp
Results:
