How many people actually use hono?
npm counted 102,407,121 downloads of hono in the last 7 days. That count includes every tarball fetch: registry mirrors, security scanners, CI pipelines and crawlers as well as people. humanloads estimates that about 102,404,387 of them (likely range 102,384,147–102,407,121) were real human installs, with high confidence. That puts less than 1% of npm's weekly count down to robots.
Is hono still maintained?
Most likely yes, going by its releases. The latest version, 4.13.16, came out on Nov 1, 2026. The last 12 months saw 67 stable releases, typically 5 days apart, plus 2 pre-releases. It was first published on Dec 14, 2021. npm lists 1 maintainer.
Is hono still used?
Downloads with publish spikes removed are up 75% over 3 months and up 2,403% over 11 months. Last week, 100% of downloads above the crawler floor were on major version 4, the latest one; the most used single version was 4.13.13, with 21%. Weekdays get 1.25× the downloads of weekends, so there is no clear work-week rhythm. Crawlers account for about 2,760 downloads a week, roughly 6 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 an honest confidence level.
