How many people use @principles/core?
npm counted 5,059 downloads of @principles/core in the last 7 days. Nobody can count people exactly, npm included: it does not record who downloaded what. After removing mirror spikes and crawlers, about 3.97K–5.06K look like real installs. Noise is 19% of npm's count. What remains still includes CI and installs as a dependency of other packages.
Is @principles/core still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 5.1.1, came out on Nov 8, 2026. The last 12 months saw 395 stable releases, typically 1 day apart. It was first published on May 31, 2026. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is @principles/core still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 194% over 3 months. Last week, 39% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 1, not the latest one; the most used single version was 1.298.1, with 11%. Weekdays get 1.04× the downloads of weekends, so there is no clear work-week rhythm. Over the last 12 months, 11,791 downloads arrived in publish spikes and were attributed to mirrors. Crawlers account for about 88 downloads a week, roughly 1 per version.
How the estimate works
- Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
- Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
- Show what is left as a range, with a confidence level. It still includes CI and dependency installs, so it is not a count of people.
