On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Patreon is slightly ahead of Ashby. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Patreon is ahead of Ashby. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Patreon is clearly ahead of Ashby. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ashby is ahead of Patreon.

Ashby carries 1 GitHub stars across 3 public repos, with 1 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Patreon shows 846 stars across 62 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Patreon's footprint is roughly 846.0x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
