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 Workable both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Discord (rank #103) holds a modest lead over Workable (rank #569) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (55 vs 35). The gap of 20 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

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. Workable shows 785 stars across 96 public repos, 5 active in the last 90 days and 5 external contributors.
