edX (Online learning at https://edx.org, powered by the Open edX platform https://openedx.org) and draw.io (draw.io specialises in browser-based diagramming components and applications.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

edX and draw.io sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (43), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), edX is ahead of draw.io. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), draw.io is clearly ahead of edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), draw.io is clearly ahead of edX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), draw.io is ahead of edX. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), edX is ahead of draw.io.

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. draw.io shows 86,983 stars across 32 public repos, 12 active in the last 90 days and 13 external contributors.
