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

Baremetrics carries 908 GitHub stars across 15 public repos, with 0 repositories active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors on record. Codecademy shows 5,241 stars across 86 public repos, 1 active in the last 90 days and 5 external contributors.
