Discord (rank #103) holds a narrow lead over Skyscanner (rank #209) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (55 vs 49). The gap of 6 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

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. Skyscanner shows 8,167 stars across 86 public repos, 18 active in the last 90 days and 39 external contributors.
