Developer ecosystem comparison across GitHub activity, SDKs, documentation, community, reach and momentum.

Discord (A new way to chat with your communities and friends. Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text.) and Malwarebytes (Cyberprotection for every one.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Discord (rank #103) holds a modest lead over Malwarebytes (rank #536) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (55 vs 36). The gap of 19 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

Discord carries 28,570 GitHub stars across 327 public repos, with 36 repositories active in the last 90 days and 41 external contributors on record. Malwarebytes shows 38 stars across 20 public repos, 4 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors.
